Paul Ecke, Jr. Flower & Garden Show

San Diego County Fair Del Mar, CA

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.
