first

This is a lovely new orchid given to me as a thank you present. This may well be the first blip of many and I'm looking forward to trying different effects out while I've got this as a subject.

The thing is, in a few short weeks, it will probably die. I've never kept a plant alive. Ever. So I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts!

Ironically the present was given to me for saving a life!
