Watson's Nursery is one of my favorite places to shop, and the clerks are accustomed to the sight of me wandering around with the camera both indoors and out. The shop is a riot of color at any time of year, so much that the eye becomes befuddled with input and fails to notice the fascinating structures overwhelmed by the intensity of hues. Translated to black and white, the intricate and delicate heart of an orchid becomes the focal point, each dot distinct and each curve outlined by light or shadow. The monochrome allows us to enter another dimension of this exotic plant's beauty, seeing it as an essay of shaded greys as indeed it is seen by many creatures closer to Nature than ourselves.
