Back from Rochester MN, and back into a more familiar and comfortable environment (in the U.P.) last evening, even in the rain. Here's a Lady Slipper, with wonderful detail. I like the drop below the flower. You can see the whole plant and the sky in it.

B-E-U-T-I-FULL

Dan,
Once again, thanks for a unique and beautiful view of our wonderful home:) As always, you make the long weeks at sea a little easier, knowing I can come home to the Keweenaw and see these sights myself.

So it's true, like the moon, Cinderella's slipper is made of chartreuse swissconsin cheese.
Over here, in the Land of 11,000 Lakes, we call it the State Flower.
That is one gorgeous photo, Dan!

Dan...another beauty to add to the collection! Thank you. And Thank You too for the wonderful memories this shot brings. When I was a little girl, my Grandparents and my brothers and sister used to walk in the woods all the time...looking for lady slippers and arbutus! We found the pink lady slippers quite often, but the yellow ones seemed to be rare! Thanks.

What a beautiful photo!
