…….photographing flowers. And that’s exactly what I was doing last week during a second visit to the Orchid Show at the Chicago Botanic Garden with a cousin who was visiting from England, despite the blizzard that was raging outside. I know! The first one isn’t an orchid, but it was just too beautiful to not capture an image.

Exquisite!
Just some of nature’s miracles. Thanks for visiting, Sandy.
You are welcome.
What a treat. I was badly in need of a bit of cheerful colour.
Thanks, Tom. I always find that a trip to the Garden greenhouses brightens up a grey day.
Such beautiful flowers. A treat for the senses 🌸🌹
Thanks for visiting, Miriam!
Gorgeous! ❤️
Thanks for stopping by, Gerri!
Beautiful!
Flowers make the dullest day bright. Thanks for stopping by!
Stunning!
I couldn’t resist a second look at these beauties.
An exquisite diverse collection! Especially liked the purple one
The timing of the Orchid Show is perfect since by now we are usually longing for Spring and waiting to see any kind of flower appear. Thanks for visiting, Dahlia!
You really captured those scintillating colors well!
Thanks, Chris! It was just what we needed on a dull day.
What a marvellous collection, Sue!!! Love all!
Thanks so much, Indira!

All so different but all so beautiful. Wonderful photographs.
Thank you, Lletty! And thanks for visiting.
So glad you were able to take your cousin there, (in spite of the weather!) Wonderful shots.
Thank you! The orchids were past their best by then but still worth a second look.
