Longwood gardens

On a cold and rainy day in early December,  Jim and I joined the Coastal Camera Club on a bus trip to Longwood Gardens.  We had tripod permits to use in taking pictures in the beautiful conservatory which is where we began our day:

Poinsettias abound!   

   
     

Entering the Conservatory....wow!

So many beautifully decorated Christmas trees!

Lillies in the winter....

Birds of paradise

There is a large area of only orchids

I shoot many windows in the Conservatory.  This day they were looking out to fog and grayness.

Our challenge was to shoot abstracts

Inside the house it was warm and interesting.
