Art In Bloom 2018 at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh NC

-

I have heard about the Art in Bloom event held at the NCMA in Raleigh NC, but I have never attended.  Until now, one of my Meetup groups was going, and I jumped at the chance to go with them.
I met up with my group at the museum entrance.  Then with camera in hand, I began my exploration.

Here is how the website describes the event...
"Art in Bloom features more than 50 floral masterpieces created by world-class designers 
inspired by art in the Museum’s collection." 
NCMA

This was one of my favorites.  
The inspiration was the falcon, I think it is a falcon, could be a hawk, I don't know, 
let's say it's a bird, in the right-hand corner of the photo.
 I did not get photos of all the lovely arrangements but below are some that I captured.  Enjoy:-)

I liked the interpretation below.  The box used for the arrangement was much like the wagon in the painting.  I also could appreciate the flowing orange flowers that depict what appears to be a blanket.  Great work.




I enjoyed my experience at Art In Bloom.  I would like to go again next year and see all the exciting floral interpretations at the museum.  Watch for ticket sales next year if you want to attend.  See you there!
Happy travels and adventures!

A few weeks ago I took a trip to beautiful Lake Lure located in my state of NC.  Little did I know that there was a town called Buffalo under the Lake Lure waters.   I met a lady at a local restaurant that told me the town remains as it was, completely preserved under the water, an underwater ghost town.  On the Lake Lure pontoon boat adventure I took, I was told that Buffalo was burned to the ground just prior to the flooding. I went online to see what facts I could find about the town of Buffalo. Buffalo was a farming and mining community.  The population was approximately 150 people.  There was a church called Whiteside Valley Church of 1918 that had about 98 members.   The dam was built to generate electricity in the early 1900's, and just after the completion of the dam the town was flooded.    From what I could find online much of the town was torn down and relocated as were parts of the church.  The graves in the small grav...

One thing I love about travel is trying new restaurants.  Cindy and I found ourselves on an adventure in the Mooresville NC area near Lake Norman.  There is nothing like enjoying a meal by the water and when we read that Eddie's was on the water we decided to give it a try.  Off we went... Eddie's on Lake Norman Here is a quote from their website. "Eddie Lubic and Ann-Margaret Wagner bring their hospitality and restaurant expertise  from New York to the shores of Lake Norman."  View from our outdoor seating... Sadly it did not get the best reviews on Z omato , but for the view and casual dinning I would go back. The staff was friendly and service was good. Plenty of room outdoors and in.  Indoor seating  A bit of wine:-)   "Eddie and Ann-Margaret's mission is always to provide the freshest seafood, prime meats, produce, pasta, and bread every meal."  Eddie's We enjoyed our veggie and cheese platt...
