Martha's Bulbs--Second Edition



This morning Joe and I went to the annual bulb tour at Martha Stewart's estate. And again...the woman's estate is as astounding as it was last year. The flowers were just as beautiful as last year, although it was surprisingly obvious that they weren't the same bulbs from last year. I missed a few of the color combinations and a couple of my favorite types from last year, but I can't say I didn't find some new ones to love. Joe didn't quite appreciate the flowers as much as I did, but he was a trooper since we didn't have his mom around like last year. He humored my need to stop and take pictures every few feet and even asked me to take pictures of some of the flowers he liked.

I had an extra fun time taking pictures this year since I have my nice camera. I think I actually cut down on the number of pictures I snapped. I'm going to assume it's because I felt confident that when I took a picture with this camera, it wasn't going to be blurry, so I could take just one instead of 3, "just in case". Don't get me wrong, I still took quite a few pictures. In fact I think I managed to take a few of the same pictures from last year, such as the view with one of Martha's bird feeders. It's my favorite one on the property because it's built to look like one of the actual houses on the property.

Here's an array of the pictures...Do enjoy while I head off to finish painting the bathroom!
