Orchids Galore

While i was out filming in Indonesia, there was enough time & more to shoot the flora and fauna.

I have never seen better looking orchids, in my life. growing like other potted plants

Different types of Orchids, in full bloom – and gorgeous.

More on my flickr photostream here.

As I break for the weekend, i have done a few things for this site :

a) upgraded to Wordpress 2.8 – upgrading was like smooth jazz :) . i remember all those times, where it was like commissioning a nuclear power plant, now it is one- click.

b) included nested comments

c) using a text editor, rather than WP’s rather clunky editor

d) included photo albumto integrate my photo’s on flickr onto this site, with the least possible effort.

The way the temperatures are soaring in Mumbai, with the air pregnant with humidity, it won’t be long before i can grow these on my window sill :(

    I have tried closeup photographs of flowers and I know how difficult it is. These are gorgeous!

    Re c) have you ever tried Windows Live Writer?
