Speechless Sundays ~  NYC Botanical Gardens  ~

The great part of living in the Hudson Valley is just how close we are to so many great events in NYC. Just a quick train ride on the MTA and I was able to see the Orchid Show at the New York City Botanical Gardens. Photos make me happy!

Joanna, The location is a beautiful Oasis from Manhattan. Every year they do an orchid show that is amazing! This is the first year we went and mother nature did not disappoint! Have a great Sunday.

I moved to NYC in 1992 and lived there until November of 2001....................loved every minute of it and miss it every day.  Try the Conservatory Gardens, they are so beautiful.  Let me know what you think.

Hi Janis, I can certainly understand why photos make you happy. Nice shot of the orchiid and I am sure you probably got quite a number of good floral photos.I spend about an hour a day studying photos other professionals photo. while I can usually see a good shot, being aware of how others compose it gives a lot in insight.

John~ The city is the best! I love the visits. Always something new and fun, and not far from my home.Enjoy what is left of the weekend!

 

Roger~ On my list of what if's should i happen to win the lotto.. One full year living in NYC with enough cash to do it right but still not crazy money! It would just be so much fun. Meanwhile, my husband is already looking at the Conservatory Gardens to see when is the best time to go! Thanks! I'll keep you posted.

William ~ when ever i am out taking photos and i see others doing the same, i stop to see just what they are up to as i don't want to miss a shot i otherwise did not see. When you think that the photo is in front of you, Turn around, as sometimes there is nothing much there, but turn around and there it is!

Funny, that was exactly my intention when I moved there Janis, to be there one year just to say I did it..........I wound up being their 10 years.

Ginny~ we took so many photos! i could blog a new photo every day! I certainly had a great day just snapping photos. If i had my own orchid it would not last.. a green thumb is something i have never had!
