Orchids All Around

T and I made our annual trek to the Missouri Botanical Garden for the orchid show a couple of weeks ago.

It was one of the few lovely days we've had outside, so even after we saw all the lovely orchids which are kept inside, we wandered the grounds for a bit just to enjoy the sunshine.  Unfortunately none of the trees have started to leaf out yet, so it was pretty drab as far as photo opportunities go, but we did happen upon a stray dog which, according to park personnel, has been living quite happily inside the park for some months now.  They have so far been unsuccessful in catching her, and she in indeed quite skittish.  Probably nothing you couldn't cure with a few packages of hot dogs though.  I wanted to take her home!
