Photo Adventures with Curiosity and Learning


June 20, 2009: Orchids at the Botanic Garden

Ellen had an agenda today. Take a photo of an orchid with colors that match anything in our living area. Of course, when we got to the Singapore Botanic Garden - she had her agenda (take a color matching photo of an orchid) and I had my agenda - enjoy the garden and take photos of anything interesting. Fortunately, I realized the conflict and also realized that I spent all morning spider hunting while she waited. Now my turn to get with her agenda.
