Made a return visit to the Botanical Building<\/a> at Balboa Park<\/a> in downtown San Diego, this time with my mom and my sister. Since my mom loves flowers, I mainly wanted her to see all of the amazingly colorful species of orchids that were blooming, but I think my sister took at least many pictures as I did when I first saw them a few days ago. I myself added quite a few more to my photo collection, this time taking some with my macro lens. I really wish they would have had the orchids identified so I could have titled them accurately. Afterwards we watched a couple of turtles swimming around in the Lily Pond before we headed out of the park. \u00a0Next visit will be for my mom to see all the Easter Lilies that will be on display.<\/p>\n
