Wonderful photography! But I had to laugh when I saw the leopard orchid. It looks like there is a tiny man on a flying dragon sitting right in the center! Fabulous!
Thanks, PrarieSky. Glad you enjoy the photos. I see now what you mean by the tiny man flying atop a dragon. When I saw it, it looked to me like some alien life form.
I'm sure Doug heard about it while there (and may have known going in), but for the benefit of any who don't know and are interested, the big floating battleship with number 63 is the USS Missouri. It was not completed till after Pearl Harbor, but the document sealing the surrender of Japan and ending World War II was signed on board her.
Yeah, I kind of touched on the history of BB-63 in the article. She's an Iowa-Class ship. The Iowa in in San Pedro (L.A. Harbor), New Jersey is in Camden, and Wisconsin is in Norfolk. Construction was never completed on Illinois and Kentucky, and both of those were eventually scrapped.
The first photo in the February 17th post is a classic! And I love the street sign. That sort of thing is one of my favorite photos to seek out when traveling.
