In an orchid garden....
Posted by Japanalia (Yokohama, Japan) on 20 February 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
The International Orchid Show 2009 at Tokyo Dome had many, many beauties on display and as many,many visitors!
Difficult to take photos.....the crowd was armed with mainly cellular phones, some with small automatic cameras and a few only with DSLRs. Almost EVERY human being present there was taking photos of themselves with flowers and of the displays. (It made me wonder...what would they do with the many shots???!! 'cause it's impossible to believe that they ALL had computers at home (?)Yoshiyuki had the opportunity to use his new Nikon D300 of which he is very proud.......but the camera is not so easy to use, so he's still learning how to make the best of it.
I was in heaven for a few hours and did some wishful thinking, too.....what if I were all alone in that huge stadium in the company of the beautiful Lady-Orchids ......Ahhhhhhh! And some of them had such a fragrance!!!! You wouldn't believe it!
