It was a beautiful day in at the Botanical Garden this week and I was fully engaged. I get that way sometimes, loosing my sense of time and place as I see everything from fresh perspectives through my lens.
Once again I was wandering through the Asian Gardens, towards the planter with a tree growing in the middle. I know this planter because it has been in my way many times when I have tried to frame a display on the other side. Today I was surprised to find it full of orchids.

These orchids are so lovely, Pat. I noticed yesterday that one I’d planted out in my garden has lots of buds on it. I’m so excited. 🙂

I hear you Sylvia. I just can’t get my mind around the fact that they bloom in nature here. I will be looking for pictures soon. 🙂

How lovely that an old obstacle has become ‘a place of beauty’. Would that we could transform all life’s obstacles with orchids. May be we can 🙂

My photos may be my guilt offering to all of those I left behind when I came south for the winter. I’m glad they are bringing you pleasure because I know the cold can drag spirits down after a while.

Ah…someone in the garden was trying to make amends to you for the planter’s previous treatment of you. 🙂

I have to admit that I didn’t have kind thoughts towards it during past visits. You may be right. 🙂
