I wanted to share my day at Fairchild Tropical Gardens, Coral Gables, Florida, with you. We had fun taking videos and stills. Orchids and butterflies were the main attraction.

When you are connected all the time, spending time with nature is that much sweeter. You really appreciate it. Unlike years ago, everyone now has a digital camera so the sounds of silence have been replaced with click, click, click. You can’t stop progress.
