Orchids and 100,000 page views on my site

While I wasn't looking, somehow, my page view meter went right over 100,000!  I started this blog in November 2005 and added the stat counter a little bit later - but still I'm surprised to see that I've reached a big number (and somewhat curious as to what percentage of those hits are from me).

As for the Orchid - one of the best parts about having a year off and spending it down here is that I'm getting to see spring from start to finish for the first time in half a decade and I'm enjoying watching the flowers bloom as the season changes.  These orchids are so far the most stunning plants I've seen, but sooner or later the mountain meadow flowers will come out and I'll have more pictures to share.  I can see though that the next post needs to be an entertaining cat picture as its been a while.
