Flower Garden

This morning I took my Icarus shawl and my husband up to Ft. Tryon Park - just up the hill from where we live - to take some pictures of the shawl in the sunshine. For the first time in ages, the sun did actually peek out from the clouds often enough for photographic purposes....

Now, back to regularly scheduled programming. Vacation is over, and I need to get back to work!
