Glad to see you're back with the orchids and the photography. That 105 lens is one awesome piece of glass. My youngest son, Sam has just bought a D600 to replace his D7000 and he is very pleased with the pictures taken by it.
Thank you so much, Yew. It felt good to spend a day just photographing my plants, and you're right - the 105 lens is amazing - and very demanding. I've heard people who are real photographers generally disliked the D7000 - I'm not even sure I know what Nikon did with the D series after the D300s, which added movies - I'll be interested to hear how your son likes his D600. I'll post my 3 remaining bonsais when I have a chance.
