me and my mommy visit the Phila. Flower Show NSFW
 
Now Showing Flowery Works

Every year for the last few, I take my mom to the Philadelphia Flower Show, we both love flowers. She still gets around fine at age 85, I hope I can get around about that well when I'm 85 or 100. Anyway, here's some pics I took, some not so good but I'm posting them anyway, the worst have been edited out. The cute elderly person with the whitish hair and redish coat is my mom, not me.

Actually, I took this pic after I dropped her off and was driving home, but since the flower show is at the PA Convention Center I figure it fits here:

In spite of having grown up around lots of Polacks and eaten a lot of good Polish foods, I thought perogies were made by people but apparently they grow on a bush:

This reminds me that the theme seemed to be music, jazz, and especially New Orleans influenced music and scenes

The next two shots are the inside of what used to be the Reading Terminal, the Reading Railroad terminal where as a kid, I used to hop on trains, now it's part of the convention center

They kept the steel tracks/rails in the floor as part of the historic preservation, you can kind of see them here

A gratuitous shot of the Philadelphia skylne from Belmont Hills Plateau, I stopped to look on my way home

Spectacular!

ktspktsp 03-06-2008 12:47 AM

Cool pics!

Although having the words "my mommy" and "NSFW" in the title is a bit worrying at first :lol:
Nice to see the Philly skyline again...

BadNick 03-06-2008 04:41 AM

thanks, folks. hmmmm, I put this into the "nonsense" section but some astute mod elevated it to the honored stature of tilted photography ...I'm honored that it's not in politics.

ktspktsp,
I see ....or iceee ;) that you're in Iceland, but were you in Philly for a while? Yes, that nsfw was a nonesense idea I had of which I have many, and as you see to me it means "now showing flowery works" plus I thought it was a good way to discourage democrats and republicans from looking at my thread.

Manic_Skafe 03-06-2008 05:38 AM

Looks like a fun time had, thanks for sharing.

jewels 03-06-2008 06:01 AM

Wow, thanks for posting those. Never been to a flower show.

BadNick 03-06-2008 07:18 AM

Thanks, jewels. You're a flower. Don't you live in Florida? Seems that could be a full time flower show outside.

jewels 03-06-2008 07:39 AM

It would seem so, but we do get bored and miss the pretty stuff that can't thrive in the heat and humidity down here. I miss the real dirt.

abaya 03-06-2008 07:47 AM

Hey, no pics allowed of people over age eighty--oh wait, under eightEEN, fine. :)

Your mom is cute, and that's really kind of you take her to such a beautiful event every year. My grandma loved the tulip festival in Washington State, which we tried to take her to every year, too.

And yeah, I echo ktspktsp on the nice Philly skyline... been a year since we saw that, and it had become almost like home for us by then.

Yup, spent 5 years in PA, including two in West Chester. So we often drove to Philly. I could really use a visit to Monk's or Eulogy right now...

ahhhh, we're planning a company trip to Monk's very soon. The guys are going down to suck up some Belgian beers. After everybody has a few, I'll propose a toast to my buddy ktspktsp from Iceland ;)

ktspktsp 03-06-2008 11:52 AM

Thanks! I think I need to start a serious beer place in Iceland, they only have crappy beers here...

Esoteric 03-06-2008 02:05 PM

Awesome pics, and I have to agree with jewels. All I ever seem to see are palm trees....

bobby 03-07-2008 07:48 AM

great that you took your mom,I love flower shows and this was one of my fav's of your pics...

BadNick 03-07-2008 08:02 AM

Glad you like it, thanks for checking it out, everybody.

bobby, I'm glad the "nsfw" tag didn't keep you out of this thread ;)
In that miniature you like, I can just picture Marlon Brando standing in the courtyard screeming "STELLA!!!" ...the New Orleans theme of the show made me recall those scenes as I was strolling around.

Speed_Gibson 03-25-2008 08:53 PM

how very colorful.
