Mosaic Monday: Birthday Weekend





Saturday was my birthday, and I spent it in New York city with my husband and kids.  It was snowing, and the city was bustling.  We went to the Whitney, and the Frick, and I took absolutely no pictures.  ;)

So today, I thought I would share just a few of the many still life photos that I shot last year.  I can't wait till spring, and I get to visit some gardens again.  In the meantime, we are getting lots of exercise shoveling snow, and I have to enjoy my flowers indoors...  :)

Here are the instructions to join today's post:
1. Publish your Mosaic Monday post. The post may be about any subject you wish. The only stipulation is that it include a collage, or mosaic of photos.
2. Once it is published, click on the title of the post. This will lead you to the static link for your post. The static link is the page with only that post on it. Copy the url from your browser at the top of the page.

  2. Happy Birthday Mary! Spending your birthday in NYC, visiting the museums sounds like a fun time. It is snowing again here, I am really tired of winter and wish it was over now. Lovely photos and post. Thanks for hosting, enjoy your week ahead!

  3. A very Happy Birthday to you, Mary! Sounds like a fun day in the city. Your photos are beautiful. The last one of the vase with the gorgeous flower arrangement is stunning. I am more and more attracted to dark backgrounds lately, for some reason and here, in your image, it seems like the flowers are floating so lightly and elegantly just above the vase.

    Thanks for hosting and have a lovely week!

  4. I hope you had a wonderful birthday weekend! You deserve it. Isn't it nice to go some place and not take photos? Weird…but there is a relief in that too. These photos are stunning…that light against the dark. These could be oil paintings! xo

    What could be nicer than taking in the galleries - wonderful inspiration for you!
    Your photos this week are so beautiful.
    The vintage photo frame and simple dandelion sitting on The Works of British Poets.
    I'm inspired to have a play with some composition now too!

  16. Happy Birthday Mary!
    Went to New York and took no pictures! amazing I would say - but I can understand too. One doesn't always have to be a photographer. Sometimes I am at big family events and there are cameras everywhere, and I take no photos.
    Stay warm, and I hope the sunshine returns soon.
