Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers and Woman out there. Today I spent part of a wonderful day with my Mom, who I think is about the BEST mom in the entire Universe. We went to a lovely brunch at Under the Clock down town and had the best Eggs Benedict's. Under the Clock is so fun. I love the big windows looking out onto State Street and watching the people go up and down the street. I think back to when I was about five or six to when I would have breakfast with Santa here in the old Boston Store. What a treat it was back then to go shopping.
Before having brunch with Mom I joined some fellow Erie Photography Club members with a great chance to photograph Orchids that were in a competition from the local club. Did you know there is over 28,000 species of orchids. There were so many beautiful displays. Besides seeing the beautiful flowers and displays I also got some wonderful lessons in photography. I am so happy I learned how to set a custom white balance. I think it will help me especially shooting snow or sunsets etc. Big thank you to Tim and Patty for helping us out and sharing your expertise.
Here are a few shots I took today. Thank you for looking.






Thank You ~Jackie
