OrchidsRich & I went to the Botanical Garden this weekend. It is the largest public indoor display garden in New England. The are various special displays throughout the year & when we visited there was a beautiful orchid display. The garden is planned to expand into the surrounding outdoor are this year, which I really look forward to visting.

I love printing with my gocco. I just ...

The pictures I’m about to share in this narrative come from a few different friends and I’ll do my best to credit them properly...
