This was the less-than-stellar result after attempting a photo of the orchid tree through the bedroom screen this morning.

Notice the fallen green mesh fabric barely visible on the ground in the shade? 

I did!

And while the tree's 45 degree tilt (the result of some serious monsoon wind during ground-soaked irrigation several summers ago) is readily apparent, it's almost impossible to see the pretty blossoms.

So I went outside and rolled to the edge of the pool deck 

and was rewarded with this much better shot.

The blossoms are lovely, so it's too bad they don't stick around all summer!

From this angle the two skinny bathroom windows are visible.
