Orchid Show

This morning Bob H and I journeyed to the 2010 Pacific Orchid Exposition at Fort Mason. We were really lucky to find parking just outside (instead of having to pay ten bucks in the parking lot). The show was mind-boggling. There were hundreds of species of orchids, from pure white, to almost black. From 1/4" midgets, to 5" giants. I wound up taking 186 pictures, mostly close-ups. I had a delicious pasta (marinara) dish, and wound up buying a beautiful orchid.
 
And by the way, as we left the show and looked into the water, we noticed a sea-lion looking back at us. There's something really human about her/his look, don'tcha think?
