I stayed around in the morning working on MAAVS web stuff. We had the leftover Chicken Pad Thai for lunch then left around 1:30 for our
2:30 photography class in Selby. We arrived early so after parking in the lot opposite the wood gate, we entered the welcome center a
and toured the Tropical display house. Walked down to the wood gate and checked in. Our first stop was the classroom building where we
were given 30 minutes of photo essentials about composition, etc. We were anxious to get into the greenhouses. At last at 3 they let us into
the big greenhouse, #5. We spent our allowed time in there then went over to house 4. Eventually towards the end we ended up in House 1 which is
the Gesneriads. We had a blast and got tired out in the greenhouses. It was an incredible experience. The last few minutes together with Daniel
our photo leader and the other class members we spent in the classroom reviewing Daniel's photos. He's a good photographer, definitely shooting
for artistic merit as opposed to Libbie and I who were shooting to document Gesneriads and other interesting plants. It was a great day none
the less. We left after sunset and stopped in Paneras for a soup and sandwich. I had the Mediterranean Veggie and French Onion Soup. We came home
and crashed.
