It is Father's Day today in Canada, above you can see a photo of my wonderful husband John. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect partner and father for our two sons. These photos were taken on our cruise last year in Barbados. We visited Orchid World which has over 2,000 orchids and I think I took a photo of each variety. I thought you might enjoy having a look at a few of them, I tried to capture them with the light shining through the petals, it really makes glow. I've been thinking they would be wonderful photos for inspiration for watercolours. I love the little faces in the fourth photo. The third photo shows how some of the orchids were just attached to a wire fencing to get the moisture from just the air, found that interesting. It was very humid.
Hi Jean,
ReplyDeleteWhen I read Barcelona, I thought you were here in Spain!!!! Lovely photos!!
Glad you have such a wonderful husband!
Warm regards,
Meli
So silly of me, we did go to Barcelona last year too, it was wonderful but this was a mistake, thank you so much for noticing!
ReplyDeleteThose orchids are exquisite and husband is handsome too. Sounds like you are a very happy couple.
ReplyDeleteJean, The flowers and husband are lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comments Margaret and Patty. The flowers and John are lovely, lol. We are very happy and enjoyed our trip together very much. John is retired now and works with me with my mini business every day so I'm so lucky. I never dreamed life would turn out this way.
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful compliment to your husband ... I am sure that he was flattered! Orchids are beautiful :-)

ReplyDeleteJean, do you know that orchids are our national flowers? :) In particular the species called Vanda Miss Joaquim http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanda_Miss_Joaquim, kind of look like the 3rd pic.
