Monday was another delightful day at The Leaf…

our group went to view the Fleurs de Villes display after our birthday lunch at Gather…

as always, a walk through the Tropical Biome is rejuvenating…

we had such fun as each of us shared different points of interest as we wandered through the lush vegetation…

we visited the cacao trees, saw coffee beans, enjoyed new vistas of the fish, chatted about the banyan tree, spotted many heliconias, and got dripped on a few times, lol…

we moved on to the Mediterranean Biome for the Fleurs de Villes exhibition…

all of the mannequins (that represent the arts in the city) were very nicely done… we met two of the designers and spotted things we liked at every display… it was amazing to see the details that had been included…

after we’d been around once, most of us went around one more time, as we each made a decision on our favourite and filled out the ballot which we received as we entered the space…

the Fleurs de Villes exhibition is always stunning and such a delight to have had here two years in a row;-)…

one more visit to the exhibition in a few days…

Wednesday was my third and final visit to Voyage at The Leaf…

took another friend who hadn’t been to The Leaf previously…

the parking lot was beyond crazy, apparently there was a big event on in the building… thankfully there weren’t tons of people going through the biomes…

we had a great time and a fabulous visit;-)… I keep seeing new things in many of the displays, and got a few interesting photos of details…

we had fun deciding on our favourite display, and this time I chose the Japanese display, prepared by Fache Floral… I liked the simplicity and the amount of work it must have taken to strip the colour out of the leaves…

we also found the cutest T-shirts with the saying – flowers make me happy – which happens to be the first hashtag I have used since I started on IG…

so excited to pick up my new camera on Friday… the old one died while we were camping this summer and I have been missing it tremendously… decided not to have it repaired again as it would be expensive and I had already had it repaired three or four times… made more sense to put that money towards a newer model…

was hoping to make it to Christmas to buy one but Thursday night I was at an event and was very disappointed in my pictures…

so Friday I went and purchased this one… it is basically the same model, only upgraded…

many things are similar but there are nuances that I am going to have to study up on, lol…

I’ve been able to connect it to my phone to download pictures but haven’t figured out how to use my phone to depress the shutter button…

there is a new automatic setting that adds effects and I really want to understand a few of the other settings…

it connects to my phone or computer via wifi, the screen moves to make taking pictures easier and it has a better zoom function…

looking forward to delving into all the details…
