Coronado Flower Show













Here are a few photographs from the Coronado Flower Show being held this weekend at Spreckels Park.

There were so many gorgeous roses, I could hardly choose which to take pictures of!

The Zoo's Who category is my favorite though - it's a friendly competition for children to creatively assemble a fruit and vegetable sculpture, and the results will make you smile every time.  This is the first year we haven't had a Zoo's Who entry, and I felt a little nostalgic walking by the precious produce and toothpick creatures.

Can you tell which table top entry I loved?  Yep, the one with Blue Willow dinner plates and the French inspired box of flowers.  Divine!



Sweet community events like this make me so, so happy to call Coronado home.

Preparation For Spring



Earlier this week on a foggy morning I searched for something new to photograph.  I noticed the Parks and Recreation department were out in full force, preparing for Spring, which in Coronado translates to the annual Coronado Flower Show, held April 16-17 this year at Spreckels Park. 

 The Flower Show is a not-to-be-missed local event, and almost everybody participates.  I'll post photographs in a couple weeks!
