It was amazing to see just how many people were at Duke Gardens this weekend! The warm weather brought so many to the gardens that it was challening to even find a place to park!
Jodi and I walked through the White garden and I was surprised to find it being relandscaped and we very few flowers at that moment, and the same fevered activity was going on throughout the rose garden. The perennial beds were cut back and waiting for more time to pass before they would grow into their spaces -- BUT the Italianate garden and Asian gardens were in their glory! Saucer magnolias, hyacinths, pansies, plums, tulips, daffodils and more were all abloom and what an array of color and scent! Temps were in the 70s and sunbathers, joggers, photographers, children and retirees were all taking advantage of the day. These anemonies were spoted, along with snowdrops and bloodroot, along one of the woodland trails.
We sat in the sunshine along one of the walls to paint, but had to move when the gardeners began testing the irrigation .... talking about 'water' color! LOL
The beautiful sunshine and warm weather has continued to grace the weekend ... one more day to enjoy it!
Hope you have a chance to get outdoors!

WC/Unryu Rice Paper, so which is it? I'm curious because I printed a photo of a hawk on some of this white paper with the strings thru it and I love it. I hung one in the window to see if it would fade and it didn't at all. I'm just wondering if you painted on it too.
peace n abundance,
