Photos of birds, fish, flowers and miscellaneous things that catch my eye and instill a sense of wonder.

Orchid Diversity
Orchids are the most diverse plant family in the world. Some, like this Anguloa, have exotic shapes, colors and smells. This one looks like a dove inside of a nest. Another smells just like Andes mints. Still another smells like licorice. It's all pretty fun but a little addicting. They will fill up your home if you let them.
Of course, that's true of any hobby that involves collecting things. Sooner or later you run out of space unless you accept the fact that you just cannot have everything. Failing that, you could become a museum curator.
I suppose that the same thing is true of people. There's much more to people than looks. Some have interesting smells and shapes. They come from all over the world and show great diversity in character. However, you don't have the time or space to have them all in your life.
