Last Monday my daughter and I went to New York City. We visited the flower show at Macy’s. The above photo was taken by my daughter. I had to crop out the head of my friend, as my daughter includes anything in aim view in her compositions (she’s only 6).
There were three of these flowered flamingos at the show. I wonder how much money it costs Macy’s to put this on. They also had tour guides taking people around the room explaining all the various flowers. In a recession, won’t they get more lookers than buyers? Perhaps the marketing group likes a crowded store for making more sales.
I took one picture of the tulips outside Macy’s, which I actually preferred to the show inside but the rest of my party was hurrying me on, so I only got this one shot with an overexposed background:
Here’s a posterized version of the above flowers:
Lots of folks gawking at flowers:
How many can you name?

Those are such great pictures! A real twist on yard art with that flamingo! Gerbera daisies, azaleas and the rubbery succulent leaf starts with a k but slips my mind right now! Thanks for the visit today!
It must have smelled amazing in there..beautiful photos Leora..
What an exciting day for you to see all this delight and have a wee nature poparazzi with you!
Love the tulips and hyacynth shot!Either one..but I love the original.
I always wonder whyflowers are most alluring in bud, is it the promise they hold?
These are all pretty. Love the flamingo! ๐
So many gorgeous flowers! Looks like your daughter is a “budding” photographer! Great captures.
All lovely shots but the pink composition is my favorite.
I love flamingos so I’m loving this huge guy and the perspective given it by your six year old!
It must have been beautiful to see all the varieties.
The last one of all the pink is beautiful. I don’t know my flowers so I’ll not try to guess. ๐

The flamingo flowers is pretty and the rest atre beautiful as well.
Your daughter is smart for taking the first photo. Yeah, I wonder, too how much Macy’s paid for transporting those birds. Everything all looks in full bloom, especially the gerberias, they are my favorite!
