A cold crisp day this Sunday and I thought I needed a further shot of color so I went to Assiniboine Park Conservatory.

The rotating display area at the Conservatory has been beautifully transformed to give it a Fresh Start just in time for the beginning of a new year!

I liked the softness of the orchid in the opening picture which I tried to further enhance with the following effects.

Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Fri, 03/17/17 18:58 I thought like Jeff that Photocritique had died and then I thought that a recent update on Firefox that had limited my access to another online photo site was also effecting Photocritique... maybe Jeff was right in his statement... I hope not. Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Sat, 03/18/17 20:57 one for the bees... and where are they?
