Mount Baker Orchid Society Show

February 28 was our orchid society's annual show.  The Mount Baker Orchid Society is a very small society but the show was well received.  I put in my usual display using a purpose built show case and an insert that looks like a lava cliff with water running down it and spent the day helping with the show and taking photos.  Photography at a show is always a challenge because the flowers are massed together, lighting is not always good, and often one has to contend with poor backgrounds, tags and other paraphernalia used for displaying the plants.  These were some of the better photos I was able to get.  We hold our show at a local nursery and so one has to contend with nursery traffic as well.  The photos of my display case were taken after most of the show was dismantled.
