I have been nominated by my friend Sue, at WordsVisual, to take part in a challenge of a photo per day for seven days, of anything from the natural world. And every day I should nominate a new member.
Cypripedium calceolus is a lady’s-slipper orchid growing wild in Sweden, and very much unlike other wild orchids here. This photo is from a very dear friend’s garden – I got the opportunity to photograph the entire garden last summer. Magnificent species.
Today I would like to nominate photographer and blogger Robert Weir at Clicking through the bucket list to take part in the 7-day Nature Photo. He is a brilliant photographer and a worldwide traveller. I would love to see what he might come up with for this challenge….. though I am not sure there is spare time enough for this busy man. If not – no worries, Robert, I am only glad to rekommend your blog to other bloggers!

Many thanks for the nomination Leya – sorry now is not a good time to participate but hopefully I will find time for a late start at a later point
I know something about having too much to do…but now I have left my job, so…I’m free. Take care ♥♥♥
🙂 how unusual and pretty! 🙂
Unusual it is here in Sweden.
So beautiful, Ann Christine, and just like tiny slippers. 🙂
Nature’s strange creations!
How fragile and beautiful!
I love them too.
I love orchids and your choice is a beauty. Thanks for brightening my Saturday morning and have a wonderful weekend.

Thank you, Janet. You too!
This flower is so elegant and host such lovely colours. Very pretty photo Ann-Christine.
Very special indeed.
very difficult to capture a ‘host’ whilst retaining order and balance but you did it so well with these very pretty ladies’ slippers.
p.s. I see that Robert Weir is a super league photographer!
He is indeed – and I knew he would not have the time for this…but I could always give it a try!
