A Delicate Purple

Are you sick of flowers yet?  Good, I'm glad to hear you are not.  Imagine poor Katherine while I was taking all of these.  We had to make a rule, no more than five shots.  Enjoy, jon

Begin the Flowers

_C296858-1

Due to the demands of school, I'm going to do about a flower a day.  If all goes well, this will knock out blog enteries for a good while.  If you have any, any, idea the scientific name for any of these, please tell me.  Enjoy, jon

Conservatory of Flowers

_C296841

And boy were they conserved.  It being a Monday, when we visited, they were being conserved away from the public.  Much to the public's surprise.  It was hilarious, groups of people would walk up, look in the windows and sort of walk around aimlessly.  Sometimes people even held their kids up to the window.

We were originally saddened by the closed on Mondays policy.  Then, we discovered there was a botanical garden just a short walk away.  So, be prepared, the following week or two will be flowers.  Just flowers. Maybe some kat.  Enjoy, jon

Row Houses

An example where knowledge of HDR and using my tripod would have come in handy.  You know, I carried that tripod every day.  And don't think I used it until the second to last night.  Of course, you could count when I accidently whacked that  wheelchair bound lady on the bus as "using" my tripod.

Fortunately, my always beautiful subject was with me.  Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten a single good pic from this park.  Enjoy, jon
