Pretty shot, even of the scientific name sounds like maybe someone hacked up something in the garden.

So, I am wondering about the last part of the sentence.  Way back when I first bought a digital camera with an EVF, I took a photo of some nicely sunset lit power lines.  When I got them on the computer much to my amazement I saw a hawk nicely perched on the top of the pole that I never saw in the viewfinder.  Not the sole example.  I have many shots where I found an insect, or some spider web in the photo that I  never saw through the EVF.  I never would have missed them in the viewfinder of my R8 or my Rollei SL-35.  So, my question is do you find that often?  Things that appear on the computer that you did not see in the camera viewfinder?  I have been looking at smaller cameras as I get older, as I do a lot of hiking and it is starting to be a chore to carry around a full frame DSLR and the lenses.  But I have not found a camera with a good enough EVF.  They are all disturbing to me to look through.  Too artificial.  I have tried all the Sony cameras, and even a few APC size.  Fuji has been the best by far.  The absolute best so far has been the Leica Q, but no interchangeable lenses, or even a fixed zoom, but that one looked very “normal” to me.  Yet to try an SL, but I am sure it will tip the scales way more than my current system.  I need lighter if I am going to make this move.

I found this Spathoglottis plicata ( Ground Orchid) in Adreen's garden this week, and after I shot it noticed the assassin nymph, which added to the Mardi Gras color!
