Here we are, it’s Saturday again and it’s time for Saturday Snapshot. Hostessed each week by Melinda at West Metro Mommy Reads, Saturday Snapshot is a fun place to get together with other people who enjoy taking photos and sharing them.
I love being a part of this link-up but I had the hardest time this week trying to decide on a photo to use. I jumped into the way back machine to solve my problem. Well, not That way back but a bit.
In March, I had the pleasure of spending several weeks in Clearwater, Fla. with my best friends, Gail and Alice. We always have the best time but we’re always looking for new and different things to do.
Gail found that there was a Buddhist Temple in Tampa. We took a road trip. I posted pictures before of the Temple itself. On Sundays, there is also a market where they sell food (which is Excellent) and flowers. They have an amazing collection of orchids. I took lots of photos and can’t believe I never shared them. Hard to choose which photo to share but here’s my choice.
A photo doesn’t really do them justice. The colors were so intense and so varied. This brings back memories of a beautiful warm day and a new adventure. It was great fun.
Don’t forget to stop over at West Metro Mommy Reads to see what everyone else is sharing this week.
Happy Saturday!

Wow! The lines on the petals are incredible – beautiful capture:-)
Thanks, Brona! They were so lovely!
Great choice. Love the colours and how crisp the image is. I often find myself digging into the archives to find my photos for Saturday too.

Thanks, Sean. Sometimes, I take so many flower photos that I don’t use them at the time I take them. Glad you like it and thanks for visiting!
Gorgeous! There is nothing quite like an orchid to showcase the wonders of nature. Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
Thanks, Laurel, glad you like them. I was amazed when I saw them. The Temple and it’s grounds are so beautiful. Hope to get there again on my visit in January. Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend!
Thanks so much, Laurel! Glad you like them. Thanks for stopping by, as always!
I love orchids, and your picture is just gorgeous!

Thanks, Julie and thanks for visiting. Please stop by again!
Beautiful photo!
Thank you, glad you like it. Thanks for stopping by!
How lovely to see your orchids. At first I thought they were the same as mine last week, but looking closely I see they are really quite different. Beautiful photo.
Thanks, Ginny, I guess we think alike taking similar photos. Thanks for visiting!
Beautiful photo! I love the way you captured the veins in the petals. Just amazing.

Thanks, Sandy, glad you like them. Thanks for visiting!
Wow those are so beautiful! Gorgeous color!
Thanks, Liz! It was amazing, there must have been 20 different varieties and I’m probably underestimating. Just incredible.
Beautiful!
Thanks, Sheila!!
Those are gorgeous. Orchids are such fun to photograph.
Thanks, Joy. I loved having the opportunity to be so close to so many of them. I had my pick of which to photograph!
