As proven by the reason I'm posting my Flower Friday linky so late today, life is not perfect! Not for humans, anyway - flowers are a different story. I didn't digitally alter this camellia photo I took during my trip to Magnolia Gardens in Charleston at all - the pink petals really are perfection.

Daffodils may be decorating Delaware right now, but they were already blooming in Charleston when I visited South Carolina in early February for my birthday. I was delighted by the entrance to Magnolia Gardens. The sign reads, "Give fools their gold and knaves their power, Let fortune's bubbles rise and fall, Who sows a field or trains a flower or plants a tree, is more than all. - Whittier" Featured Flower Picks: Purple Crocus • Spring Blossoms • Spring Crocus How To Plant Your Own Post for Flower Friday: The only rule to play is that you can only add one link per week!

I borrowed a sliver of Quicksilver's power and was able to finish my Fantastic Four fan art in time for Revival House's Comically Cinema event last Thursday at Milton Theatre. I hadn't worked on art bigger than ACEO size for ages, so coloring the background of 8"x8" Strathmore Smooth Bristol Paper with Prismacolor pencils was quite a feat for me. In addition to various Wordless Wednesday posts, my Fantastic Four fan art is linked at Sunday Sketches .

I have a fantastic reason for not being able to spend much time blog hopping for Flower Friday the last few weeks. Ogre and I are collaborating with Revival House for their Third Thursday event at the local theatre March 16. The theme is " Comically Cinema " and they're screening " Doomed! The Untold Story of Roger Corman's ‘The Fantastic Four,’ " followed by a Skype session with the director. But before the documentary starts, we're having a mini-convention in the back of the Milton Theatre! Ogre will be selling comic books and auction figures. I'll be selling my fantasy art prints, and am working on a special Fantastic Four fan art piece for the occasion. This morning I inked my drawing with black Sakura Pigma Micron Pens onto Strathmore Smooth Bristol Paper . In addition to various Wordless Wednesday posts, my Fantastic Four fan art is linked at Sunday Sketches .

FRIDAY, MARCH 10 EDIT: Flowers are blooming all over Delaware and I haven't had time to stop and photograph them, or even dig through my garden archives! Thus I've extended the linky time again so you can still share your photos. And please come back Sunday to find out why I've been so busy! And I thought the cherry blossoms were impatient last year when I photographed them in mid-March! The pretty pink trees are already in full bloom in Delaware, thanks to February going through a mid-season crisis and acting like spring.
