this song makes me cry if i think about scott when i hear it.
a good loving cry though, not the ugly one.

hello, hello! thank you for all the can do encouragement! this weekend i believed it and got enough photos for posts about -

1. can do - i never noticed so many little plants around town.
2. cherry blossoms, including one tree that still had its cherries.
   
3. spring blooms, including an amazing lilac & wisteria bonsai.
   
4. our pretty flower-adorned neighborhood (sunnyside), which was just listed as the third best place to live in nyc according to a survey in new york magazine.
   

these are the orchid photos i took the second time round at the new york botanical garden. and, you know what? i did not feel good at all that day. i didn't want to miss the opportunity though because the show was going to close, so i pushed myself (can do). to keep it simple the aperture was set to 3.5 and i was lucky because the light was so pretty. my mom loved orchids and would have loved these.

so, what would you like to see next from the list? do tell.

xo, cindy
