Gorgeous day, the semester&#8217;s almost over, the terrorists have been caught, the Samurai exhibit just opened, the Michelangelo exhibit just opened, and Art in Bloom is happening. For three days, gorgeous floral displays are placed throughout the galleries near the work of art that they were designed to be displayed with. They&#8217;re absolutely gorgeous, and it draws a huge crowd. In fact, I left just as a huge school group was arriving.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If I could have avoided the crowds, I would have, but I couldn&#8217;t wait another day to see Michelangelo&#8217;s drawings. Usually, I miss out on seeing Art in Bloom because I would rather avoid the crowds, but this year, I was right there with all of the other ladies oohing and aahing and taking pictures. The flowers were gorgeous, but my favorite shot from this group is the one on the right. The pattern created by the shadows of well-lit flowers, juxtaposed with the tile pattern of the fireplace behind it, took my breath away.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n<!-- relpost-thumb-wrapper --><div class=\"relpost-thumb-wrapper\"><!-- filter-class --><div class=\"relpost-thumb-container\"><style>.relpost-block-single-image, .relpost-post-image { margin-bottom: 10px; }<\/style><h4>random related posts:<\/h4><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><!-- relpost-block-container --><div class=\"relpost-block-container relpost-block-column-layout\" style=\"--relposth-columns: 5;--relposth-columns_t: 4; --relposth-columns_m: 4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/2022\/03\/25\/smith-college-lyman-greenhouse\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_20220329_085637_123.jpg\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 100px; height: 100px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 70px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 11px;  color: #4f0e21;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">Smith Greenhouse<\/h2><span class=\"rpth_list_date\">March 25, 2022<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/2020\/09\/15\/portsmouth-flowers\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/wp-16005275288292441506247344056675-100x100.jpg\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 100px; height: 100px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 70px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 11px;  color: #4f0e21;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">Portsmouth flowers<\/h2><div class=\"relpost_card_exerpt\">\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div><span class=\"rpth_list_date\">September 15, 2020<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/2012\/09\/03\/isabellas-greenhouse\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ngg_featured\/dsc02899-150x150.jpg\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 100px; height: 100px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 70px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 11px;  color: #4f0e21;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">Isabella&#039;s Greenhouse<\/h2><div class=\"relpost_card_exerpt\">Photography is permitted on the first floor of the...<\/div><span class=\"rpth_list_date\">September 3, 2012<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><!-- close relpost-block-container --><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><\/div><!-- close filter class --><\/div><!-- close relpost-thumb-wrapper --><!-- Developer mode initialization; Version: ;4.3.3Relation: both; All categories: 1;Found 3 posts;Basic sizes;Got sizes 100x100;Post-thumbnails enabled in theme;Post has thumbnail 23351;Postthname: thumbnail;Using title with size 160.
