to reminisce with my old friends and meet some new ones. The fourth installment of the traveling garden tour and blogger party known as Fling rolled into Seattle with high expectations and great relief, especially for the bloggers from Texas and Oklahoma. For four days, we traveled in tour buses to see beautiful gardens.
It was a chance to let our hair down and have some fun.
In beautiful surroundings, we walked,
we took lots of pictures,
we talked.
Bloggers traveled from near and far.
I wish I had a photo of everyone, but each year the Fling has gotten bigger, and with 70 attendees, I didn't even get a chance to talk with everyone.
Thanks go to the organizers, Debra, Lorene, Marty, In the Garden with Marty Wingate (who managed to avoid my camera), and Mary Ann for all their hard work. Seattle Fling exceeded expectations.
