Went to the New York Botanical Garden yesterday for the  Orchid Show.  Lovely flowers, beautiful early Spring day! (Orchid pix to be posted soon.)

Orchid time

Getting ready for my visit to the Orchid Show at the NY Botanical Gardens.  These cymbidium orchids are some of mine.:)

Well, it's been a really long time since I updated, so I've got a bunch of photos taken from the month.  It's been mostly snowy & icy.  Here's a duck walking on the ice towards the Hudson River.

 I had hope that Spring might be on the way when I spotted this Robin in the backyard, but, of course, we got more snow.

Visited the Norwalk Maritime Center to get out of the snow for a while.

Of course, more snow fell &  the birds came looking for hand-outs!

But at least I had flowers blooming inside. :)

And, of course more snow yesterday & today!

Hope March will bring Spring weather & we can finally get the mountain of snow to melt!  Have fun!
