Weekend Orchids from Longwood Gardens - Roy and Dolores Kelley Photographs

In recent days, some comments on my blogs requested more orchid photographs.  So, this post is for the orchid lovers.  The current annual exhibit at Longwood Gardens is Orchid Extravaganza.  This is a wonderful event if you will be in the eastern Pennsylvania area.

Have a wonderful weekend and be sure to have your camera in hand to capture those special moments when you are out and about in your community or during your travels.

Thanks for your comments.

Debbie:

To answer your question I will share the history of the images in this post and comments.  The photographs were uploaded from my Canon PowerShot G11 camera to the computer and then edited on Picnik.  The edited pictures were then uploaded to our Flickr account and to my Facebook albums. So, you can see them in advance on Flickr or Facebook.

The photographs in this post and comments were copied and pasted from Flickr.  The image numbers below the pictures are the Flickr image numbers.  As I used the pictures in this post, I added them to the Longwood Gardens Board on my Pinterest page.  That is what happens.  

Have a great weekend, with your camera in hand.
