Begin the week with orchids March was a big month for orchid shows and sales. It is still a good time to purchase plants that were featured in exhibits. Many gardens have now turned to their spring displays. Dolores and I attended a camellia show and sale at Brookside Gardens in the Wheaton Regional Park in Montgomery County, MD over the weekend. We were allowed to photograph the blooms while the judging was taking place and before the exhibit was open to the public. This group of photographs is from the Maryland Orchid Society Show and Sale which was part of the Maryland Home and Garden Show at the Timonium Fairgrounds. Please share photographs from your special places in the comments for this post. Maryland Orchid Society Show, Timonium Fairgrounds, March 11, 2011. Canon PowerShot G11...

Sunday orchids from the Maryland Orchid Society Show The past month has been a time for orchid shows and sales in many communities. We were fortunate to be able to attend the Maryland Orchid Society Show that was part of the Maryland Home and Garden Show at the Timonium Fairgrounds. Aside from my photography hobby, our office has been very busy with home buyers that are trying to take advantage of the very attractive home prices and the very low interest rates. FHA buyers need to have case numbers assigned before April 18 to avoid the increase in the cost of mortgage insurance. This weekend, orchid growers are visiting Longwood Gardens to purchase plants that were in the Orchid Extravaganza exhibit. Yesterday, Dolores and I attended the camellia show and sale at Brookside Gardens at the...

Friday Orchids We have hundreds of orchid photographs from the March shows and sales. This group of pictures is from the Maryland Orchid Society Show and Sale at the Maryland Home and Garden Show at the Timonium Fairgrounds. If you enjoy orchids, this is the time of the year to see displays of every type and color that you could imagine. This weekend is a good time to visit Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square Pennsylvania to see the new Spring Exhibit.  Those that wish to purchase orchids should attend the Orchid Extravaganza orchid sale this weekend. Blue Poppies are in bloom now!   "Longwood's famed Blue Poppies are back! These elusive plants are usually found in Scotland, Alaska and the Himalayas, but you need only to travel to Longwood to see these show-stopping beauties."  www.longw...

Do you like orchids? If you like orchids, this is the time of the year to visit local and regional orchid shows and sales. In Maryland, we were fortunate to have the Maryland Orchid Society Show and Sale at the Maryland Home and Garden Show at the Timonium Fairgrounds. You may be surprised by the variety of available orchids. They are grown in many colors and shapes. If you want to polish your skills as a flower photographer, taking hundreds of pictures at the shows will give you the practice that is needed to identify the best angles and lighting. One of the nice things about digital photography is that you do not have to worry about the cost of film and it is easy to delete the photographs that do not turn out well. I'm always looking for the shots that make me think "wow" when I view...

An Orchid For You! March has been a busy month for local and regional orchid sales and shows. It is a good time to select orchids for your home and a wonderful time for photographers that enjoy the challenge of photographing flowers. If you wish to take up flower photography as a hobby, the flower shows are good opportunities for practice. Take a couple of hundred pictures at each of a few shows and you will develop an eye for the best angles and the best lighting. There is no substitute for a high qualify camera but you do not need a high priced camera to have a high level of enjoyment. Always select a camera that comes with photo editing software to place on your computer and always edit your pictures before you share them with family and friends.  Don't worry about the pictures that ...

Wednesday Orchids For You! Everybody seems to be having orchid shows and sales this month. These photographs were taken at the Maryland Orchid Society Show and Sale at the Maryland Home and Garden show at the Timonium Fairgrounds. You do not need to be an orchid grower or expert to enjoy the shows and capture the unusual shapes and colors.  Dolores and I have been out of town for a week and I am behind on my comments on ActiveRain. We enjoyed visits to Pinehurst, NC, Aiken, SC and Wilmington, NC.  Be sure to have your camera in hand to capture the colors of the changing season. If you have photographs from favorite places or shows, please share them in the comments for this post. Maryland Orchid Society Show, Timonium Fairgrounds, March 11, 2011. Canon PowerShot G11 camera.

Tuesday Orchids For You Dolores and I attended the Maryland Home and Garden Show. It was actually three shows in one complex at the Timonium Fairgrounds.

All of them will be posted on my Facebook page as they are edited.  If you follow my posts, I hope you enjoy flower pictures because we take hundreds of them. Dolores wants me to have a hobby for my retirement years and hopes that photography will keep me busy while she plays golf.

 A Dahlia For You! If you follow my blogs, you know that I post lots of flower photographs. Some of my friends have asked for tips on how to get good flower pictures.  I find many opportunities on neighborhood walks during the spring and summer. However, if you want to see the best looking flowers, attend some of your local and regional flower shows. Then, you will have the chance to photograph the flowers that are winning the awards. This dahlia is a nicer bloom than you will find in most of the neighborhood gardens and the colors are wonderful. Always have your camera in hand to capture the colors of the moment. If you have photographs from favorite places, please share them in the comments for this post. Dahlia Show, sponsored by the National Capital Dahlia Society, at Brookside Gard...

Monday Orchids This is another group of orchid photographs taken at the Maryland Orchid Society Show which was part of the Maryland Home and Garden Show at the Timonium Fairgrounds. March is a big month for local and regional orchid shows as growers select their plants for the season. Spring is coming and many are anxious to grow more flowers. Real estate professionals are also very busy this spring season as home buyers take advantage of the very attractive home prices and the very low interest rates.  In Maryland, qualified first time home buyers have available grants to $7,500 to assist with the cash requirements of a home purchase. Be sure to have your camera in hand this week to capture the changing colors of the season.  Please share your pictures in the comments for my posts. Mar...

There are many homes lost to foreclosure since the mortgage and real estate crisis in 2008.  Many of these foreclosed homes or mortgages were bought by Fannie Mae.  As a result, there are a lot of Fannie Mae foreclosed homes that are up for sale creating really great home buying opportunities for those who are qualified.  To help sell the foreclosed homes, Fannie Mae has set up a special mortgage financing program called HomePath Financing by Fannie Mae.  This program is designed for borrowers who are looking to buy a home to live in or to purchase as an investment property. Home Path Mortgage is a special home buying option available through Fannie Mae. Multiple incentives are available to entice buyers to purchase Fannie Mae properties including reduced down payment requirements and c...

Fannie Mae is a government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) chartered by Congress with a duty to provide liquidity, stability and affordability to the U.S. housing markets now a day.  It runs in the U.S. as a secondary mortgage market and not making home loans directly to consumers.  It works with mortgage bankers, brokers and other primary mortgage market partners to help ensure that all of them have funds to lend to home buyers at affordable rates. Fannie Mae has the home path program for borrowers.  The HomePath program was intended for the sale of foreclosed homes owned by Fannie Mae. A HomePath mortgage can only be used to purchase one of those foreclosed homes under the said program. The loans are offered in two types which can be based on fixed-rate, adjustable-rate or interest-only te...

 Maryland Orchid Society at the Maryland Home & Garden Show The Maryland Home & Garden Show was held on the first two weekends in March. The show had three major sections in three large buildings at the Timonium Fairgrounds. The three shows in one included the very large home show, the garden show and the craft show. The garden show was the Maryland Orchid Society Show and Sale in Horticulture Hall.

 Yellow orchids for you I hope you are not getting tired of looking at my flower photographs. As we enjoy the spring weather in Maryland, our thoughts are turning to outside activities including the spring clean up of our yards and gardens. It is a good time to select the flowers we will enjoy during the spring and summer seasons. Dolores and I attended the Maryland Home and Garden Show. It was actually three shows in one complex at the Timonium Fairgrounds. The Maryland Orchid Society Show and Sale was in the first building. The second building was the home show and the third build housed the craft show. We really enjoyed taking flower photographs at the Orchid Show.

Additional pictures from the Maryland Orchid Society Show The Maryland Orchid Society Show and Sale was a very special part of the Maryland Home and Garden Show at the Timonium Fairgrounds. It was a great place to spend a couple of hours on a cold day in March. There are many orchid shows and sale this month. It is not too late to go to Orchid Extravaganza in the Conservatory at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Longwood Gardens is a must visit location for those that enjoy flowers and plants and having an opportunity to photograph them in beautiful settings. www.longwoodgardens.org Please tell me if you identify a favorite among this group.

 A blue orchid for the first day of spring March is a time for many local and regional orchid shows. It is always interesting to see the variety of plants and the color combinations provided by nature. Blue orchids are sometimes featured in special exhibits. They are not usually found in at home displays. You certainly will not have the Monday blues when you enjoy the beauty of a blue orchid. This bloom was photographed at the Maryland Orchid Society Show which was part of the Maryland Home and Garden Show at the Timonium Fairgrounds. Please share photographs from your favorite places in the comments for this post. Maryland Orchid Society Show, Timonium Fairgrounds, March 11, 2011. Canon PowerShot G11 camera.
