Just a few random flowers to help with those winter blues.

It’s an Orchid Night
Tonight I have three photos of orchids to share with you.
Hope you enjoy.
Out of the Snow Comes the Tulip
Tonight’s post is a collection of red tulips to keep us all looking forward to spring and warmer weather. I am most definitely looking forward to spring flowers. By the way it is currently 24 degrees.

A Touch of Color
Tonights post is a tulip I shot a while ago. I sometimes like to play with selective color or partial color in a photograph.
A Leaf is Just a Leaf
Tonight photo is a simple macro shot of a couple of leaves that I took at a recent stop at Phipps Conservatory, in Pittsburgh. I really enjoy macro photography and the extremely limited depth of field that you encounter, although it can be very frustrating the results are well worth the time and effort.
This is shot with a Nikon D300 and a Sigma 150mm macro lens.

The Tower of Oakland
Tonight I’m posting a couple of shots of a tower in Oakland, Pa. This is near Heinz Chapel in Pittsburgh. I found this building to be interesting as it seems a little out-of-place next to the modern building. I don’t know what the building is or what it is used for, I just find it fascinating.
If you have any information about the building I would like to know a little more about it.
Remnants of a Time Gone
Todays post is two photos from a set of smoke stacks from an old factory in Homestead, Pa. The Pittsburgh region was once a major area for steel mills and other factories, thus the nick name the “Steel City”. Today many of the factories are gone, some have survived and there are a few remaining remnants of what once was. The stacks in these pictures are in the parking lot of a movie theater.
Butterfly Dreams
Tonights post takes us back to the warmth of summer, flowers, and butterflies. I’m including two photos from a trip this past summer to Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh, Pa. Every summer they have a butterfly garden with many different types of butterflies. If your in the area be sure and stop by the butterfly garden.
Hope you enjoy.
Miniature Bee Keeper
Tonights post is photo from the Phipps Conservatory miniature railroad display. In this scene you can see a bee keeper tending his bees as a Pennsylvania Railroad car speeds by in the background. I really enjoy photographing miniatures and Phipps always puts together a nice show.
City Reflections
Tonight I’m revisiting the previous topic of reflections. I find myself in Pittsburgh daily and there are so many great buildings in this city. Some of them are entirely glass on the outside and that makes for some great reflections.
Keep looking at what you don’t see and eventually you will see the unseen.
