I began the TriniTrip series of photos with a pic of orchids, and I will close the series with a pic of this large and unique one. Yesterday in our travels over and around the mountain, our guide suddenly stopped the pickup beside the road and exclaimed over this orchid. The large, single bloom seemed to float in the air among the leaves and branches of a tree, creating a beautiful, unexpected sighting on our excursion. Since we're home, I wondered what orchids symbolize, so I googled the question and was astonished to discover that one of the descriptions under "a pink orchid" is that it is considered a gift for a 14th or 28th anniversary. The anniversary that Ken and I were celebrating on this trip is our twenty-eighth! Call me deep into sentimentality, but I will continue to think of this orchid as a symbol of unexpected gifts - on this trip and in our marriage.
