Orchid Madness

Today I went on a bike ride with Maxine and Paul to visit the Santa Barbara Orchid Estate to take some photos. Lots and lots of photos. The place is basically a maze of greenhouses full of orchids of all kinds. It was pretty awesome. Orchids are beautiful in and of themselves, so coming up with great photos was easy. That's why the photo above is my favorite, because I think it doesn't just rely on the beauty of the flower alone. Sorta. Anyway, enjoy.
