"Wow! Look how big this place is!! It's almost a little scary!! But I guess any place with so many flowers in it can't really be scary...."
"There were lots of flowers to look at! I really loved that these flowers matched my barrettes! Unfortunately the lighting in the Expo center was sort of weird, and there were a lot of people around, so Nightfall had trouble setting up some of the shots. But even tho this photo is blurry, I still like it!"
"I'm blurry again here too, I'm afraid, but isn't the castle cool? It was just my size, but unfortunately I couldn't get close enough to stand right at the door! While Nightfall was trying to set up the shot, there was a small crowd of people watching her... I think she was a bit embarrassed. Hee hee. Poor Nightfall!"
"Here's a better shot of the castle. It would be fun to live in here and be a Princess..."
"Look, these flowers match my shirt!"
"There were a lot of really elaborate garden displays. They were sort of like parade floats almost, except of course they didn't move. This one was set up like a beach - with a lighthouse! There was even a fog machine that was set up to send out a puff of fog when the sound of waves crashing played. So it was just like being on the beach! Well, in truth, it really wasn't anything like being on the beach, but it was a nice try!"
"See? This is what the whole thing looked like. And there's the "wave" crashing!"
"Here's another display. Even though this is much simpler, I thought it was nice. And in the background, you can see a car, so that gives you an idea of how big everything was!"
"I liked this because it was a dragonfly! Dragonflies are so pretty. (Even if they are a little bit scary...)"
"Several of the displays had birds inside of them."
"These were some sort of Heron, I think. They were really pretty neat looking, but they didn't stand very still"
"There were also peacocks. They didn't spread out their tales tho, which was too bad!"
"And then there were these guys...."
"What are these?"
"In addition to the big "floats", there were also some cut flower arrangements..."
"And some jewelry made out of flowers and seeds (!)..."
"And some Bonsai trees. I really wanted Nightfall to take one of these home, because they are also a perfect size for me (and probably easier to fit into Nightfall's apartment), but she didn't think she was up to taking care of one of those. And besides, the kitties would probably eat it... Sigh."
"Also, near the door, there were some dioramas, and these sailor's valentines."
"Sailor's valentines are made of shells, and were an old New England art form."
"I had a really good time at the flower show, but my favorite thing was all the pink flowers!"
"Altho I do like the white flowers a lot too! Nightfall is very fond of white flowers."
"Nightfall also says that not ALL of her photos came out blurry. Just the ones with me, it seems like! I guess I must've been moving around too much. It was hard to stay still tho with so much to look at! But if you'd like to see some of Nightfall's pictures in focus, you can go to her Flickr page!"
