I bought an orchid. I named it “Spot” (first photograph). I hope it likes it here. The rest of the photographs are from the orchid show and at the New York Botanical Gardens.

Some more about the orchid show plus my photographs. I use Lightroom and Photoshop to bring out the impressions that what to create for each image.
NYBG Orchid Doors
We went to see the annual The Orchid Show: Mr. Flower Fantastic’s Concrete Jungle | New York Botanical Garden. Very unusual setting s this year. I’m not sure if I liked it. The orchids in circular laundry doors are fun.
A quote from the NYBG website:
New York City has never bloomed like this. At The Orchid Show: Mr. Flower Fantastic’s Concrete Jungle, orchids collide with concrete in a dazzling reimagining of the Big Apple, from stoops and slice shops to the subway itself. Step into a breathtaking fusion of nature and cityscape artistry in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, and experience the flair and style of New York transformed by thousands of flowers.
This set is for Dan’s Thursday Doors: Romanian Room – No Facilities
Collective Retreat
We stayed overnight at the Collective Governors Island | Luxury Camping Resort New York in 2019. It is lovely to lie in the tent with the tent flap open overlooking the harbor. In the early morning the mist softens the landscape.
Irish Famine Memorial
In 2001, I worked at One Financial Center. I passed by the Irish Hunger Memorial on my way to work. When it was foggy or raining it reminded me of the British Isles.
I edited th old unedited photo. Here is the before and after.
Cabbage and Oak Leaves
I was intrigued by how the oak leaves managed to embed themselves in the decorative cabbage.
Grace Church Doors
Grace Church (Manhattan) – Wikipedia Is a lovely church on lower Broadway. Marc photographed these in 2024. I finally got around to using them.

Ice on the Hudson B&W
The post before this one shows the same photographs in color. I like them both ways. I think I’m leaning more towards black and white.
