Wow, what wonderful weather we had here today. The temperatures rose above 70° F ((21° C) and for most of the day the skies were clear. And after over 3 months Kim and I finally found the time to drive down to Longwood Gardens. Our good friends Rich and Marion joined us too. To add to the fun Longwood's Orchid Extravaganza is still in full swing. So there were lots of orchids, of course. It should be no surprise that today's photo is an orchid.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Continuing with our trip to Longwood yesterday and orchid Extravaganza I share with you this scene.

Shot in the Conservatory this is one of my favorite places to photograph and even make the occasional video. Here it is nicely decorated with some white orchids to make a beautiful scene even better.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Well it sure does feel a lot like Spring around here. Today the temperatures were in the mid 60's and it was dry as a bone so Kim and I took advantage and took a drive to Longwood Gardens. And right now Longwood is having their Orchid Extravaganza so as you can imagine I shot lots and lots of frames. Going through my days work I have found some good stuff to share with you and to start out I would like to show you this.

I don't normally shoot the back of an orchid but this one called to me. I love to translucency that lets the light gently flow through. The front was very nice too and I will probably share it soon.

Anyone who has been reading my blog for a while knows that I have a few "favorite places" to shoot and Longwood is near the top. And I mean it when I say that if you get a chance to visit make sure you do. I promise you will not be disappointed. Especially when there is a special exhibition taking place.

And now for...
