the beautiful orchid tree

 This tree with its beautiful flowers is outside our motel door. It's a cheery spot in our otherwise frustrating existence. The computer won't recognise our madem so there will be no email from the boat, nor cell phone either. The starter battery we bought last year is toast and the one we ordered a week ago, promised for yesterday MAY arrive next WEEK! We will be launched on Saturday anyhow and spend the waiting time at anchor.
