Paul Ecke, Jr. Flower & Garden Show

Painted Porcelain

San Diego County Fair Del Mar, CA

Hydrangea. 2nd place award.

So happy to see the Fair is back after being cancelled during the pandemic.

My favorite part is strolling leisurely down the numerous tables filled with absolutely stunning flowers. Approaching each table my strategy is to take in each flower then decide which ones I like the best before I look at the ribbon winners. Color, shape and overall personal appeal factor in my decision making.  

Sometimes I agree with the judges, sometimes I don’t. Either way it doesn’t matter. It’s super fun for me to fill up my camera with gorgeous flowers. Now I just need to figure out what to do with them all!

Perhaps I’ll decide to enter one of my flowers in the show someday.

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs. If you'd like to send me a message or comment, please do so at; maggie@hungryones.com We just celebrated our 14th Anniversary this October 2016!! So exciting!! 2015 A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting. Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.
