I couldn’t help but think of my mother when I saw this week’s theme. She just died in December and she was so beloved by so many. In honor of Goldie Leiderman Nadler Katz, April 30, 1923 – December 15, 2017.

I don’t always see the annual St. Paul Winter Carnival Orchid Show every year. But I do try to visit the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory once each winter to get a breath of the tropics and to escape winter even if just for an hour. It is truly heaven on earth inside the conservatory! If you’re interested, here are a couple of posts from previous years’ visits: 2015 and 2014. Today’s visit was a bit unusual in that it’s typically bitterly cold outside and cloudy. While I am thoroughly enjoying the sunshine today, it did make it harder to get good photos but I did get a few.
When I saw the theme for this week’s photo challenge I knew exactly what I wanted to enter for it. Please enjoy my photographic tour of this year’s Orchid Show! Click on each gallery to see larger images.

I’m going with my first thought when I saw this week’s theme. In 2010 my mother won the lottery. Yes, it does happen! She decided to spend some of that money to have her family spend Thanksgiving with her in Florida. Oh, the memories! It was a marvelous time so I’d like to share a gallery of the gathering of my family that year. Click on the link to view other entries or to enter yourself and enjoy!!
