Art in Bloom garden fun

I will see if Macro Monday is still publishing links for you to see other pretty things.  And here is one from my garden adventure on Saturday, as well as a shot of the lovely home where I helped hostess visitors to Art in Bloom.

What, there's dirt on that blossom!  Yes friends, it rained the day before!

H's home with raised begonia bed.

Ah, there's a new macro Monday link here. 

I'm holding this post till it opens today, cause last week had over 70 blogs linked to it.  Who would ever look at that many blogs, anyway?  But it's great to see that that many bloggers are congregating with this photo interest!

So here is my one macro for this week. 

What's Art in Bloom you might ask?  Tomorrow I'll tell you all about this annual event sponsored by our Black Mountain Center for the Arts (and it's over for this year, so you've already missed it.)

Bradford Pear buds

About to burst open, Bradford Pear tree which is 4 weeks later blooming than last year across the street from my house

Go one half mile down the hill to Black Mountain center, and this Bradford Pear tree is happily blooming

I'll submit this post to Macro Mondays.  Come see other photographers who have a much steadier hand...perhaps some tripods or uni-pods?

This is my Macro Monday entry.  Many beautiful photos to browse through.
