NYBG Orchids 4
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.
NYBG Orchids 3
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
Cabbage and Oak Leaves
I was intrigued by how the oak leaves managed to embed themselves in the decorative cabbage.

Greenwich Vilage in the Snow
I managed to catch this white-throated sparrow in flight.
After visiting Hudson River Park we walked to Abingdon Square. There are tiny lights in the tree there. I added falling snow to that background.
Happy New Year everyone.
