Cleveland Botanical Gardens Orchids

Every year the Cleveland Botanical Gardens has an orchid show in February.  It is a great way to beat the winter blues by sharing some time with these beautiful plants.

Thanks to one of the administrators at the gardens, I was able to get access for a group of photographers to use tripod equipment along with access before the public was allowed in.

It really was nice to have the ability to use the tripod to compose images and take some time with a subject.

I tried up close macro images, along with small intimate landscape shots like the one above.

The beautiful colors and shapes are inspiring for all who attend.

The following is a link to my favorite images from a fun morning:
