A New Discovery … and Sweet Shot Tuesday

I don’t think I have ever linked up to Darcy’s Sweet Shot Tuesday, at My 3 Boybarians, in the past. I thought I would jump this week. (To turn off the music; scroll to the bottom and click the pause button.)

Yesterday, I finally went somewhere people have been telling me to visit for over a year. My parents came and joined us for a family adventure. I am so glad we went and am kicking myself for not having gone sooner.

We discovered the beauty of Longwood Gardens. There is so much to see, you can’t view it all in just an afternoon. I am so looking forward to going back again and again. Each time we go we will see something different. It is constantly changing not to mention the seemingly endless variety of foliage and flowers.

I was not disappointed in my search for beautiful blooms to photograph, to build my photography portfolio and hopefully to use in future watercolor painting adventures. There stands in my house a piece of watercolor paper stretched to its limits and blank as can be. I’m determined to face my fear and put some color on it, hopefully in the form of brightly colored blossoms.

*edit* Apparently this is my third Sweet Shot Tuesday. My first is here, and my second is here.
