My guide, Margaret Commins, who arranged my tours of the caves, poses under some wisteria. Oz3_083.jpg	The wisteria from close up. Have you noticed I'm a sucker for close-up shots of flowers?! (You haven't seen the last of them yet!) Oz3_084.jpg

Inside the Orient Cave, a particularly ornamental cave, the variety of different formations is staggering! Oz3_085.jpg	These stalagtites are easily thousands of years old. Oz3_086.jpg

Heligtites swirl around and build sideways for inexplicable reasons. There are many theories, but no one can say for sure why they do this! Oz3_088.jpg	The monster of all stalagmites - the Pilar of Hercules - is over 50 feet tall! Oz3_090.jpg

The deep colors make the Orient Cave one of the more photogenic. Oz3_091.jpg	Even outside, some stalagtites have formed over this natural archway. Oz3_092.jpg

Didn't I tell you I wasn't done yet with close-ups of flowers?! If they're pretty, I'll shoot 'em wherever I find 'em (even if I don't know what they are)! Oz3_095.jpg
