In my last blog, I mentioned that I spoke to the Ottawa Independent Writers. As a result of that evening, I was requested to do a podcast and since I’m not the least bit humble here’s the link http://www.brookebroadbent.com/resources/Molly_O.mp3
You should know that I enjoy speaking to groups and presenting seminars on writing memoirs and flash fiction. That being said, if you are interested in either please jot me a note at fourteencups@hotmail.com I am considering doing a couple at our farm in August.
Now to my wanderings – as you might have already guessed, I get very excited when I find that special wildflower and doubly so if I manage to capture a decent photo of the same. Well I didn’t have to wander far this week before my adrenaline peaked. Always searching for hidden blooms, I have developed a keen eye (a walking buddy often exclaims how did you see that!?) and yesterday, as I was power-walking along our road, my eye caught a spot of red. I sent a wish to my gods hoping beyond hoping that I had found a pink orchid. YES! There it was, in early bloom, one of Canada
I mustn’t discount the yellow orchids that are plentiful this year or the water iris tucked in the damp woods. This dry spring without high winds has produced exceptional subject matter. Grey skies this morning, but my camera will still hang around my neck – just in case – on my morning walk.
