There are no eastern redbud trees where I live but I enjoy seeing their beautiful blooms when we travel. We were in North Carolina one spring when I captured these pink blossoms.

Many thanks to Terri for this week’s Flower Hour challenge The Flower Hour #24
Terri posts a new Flower Hour Weekly challenge every Tuesday. If you want to join in the challenge you can find out more about it here.
Tina’s challenge is Phone Photography. I usually take my DSLR camera and telephoto lenses with me when I am going anywhere to try to capture wildlife shots. Otherwise, I always have my phone in my pocket or purse when I am out and about. I never know when something photo worthy will come up.
I like to use my phone to capture close ups of flowers and critters I find on flowers when I am on a walk or in my garden.
Bumble Bee on Rue
This Brown Pelican was close enough to capture with my cell phone.
I often use my cellphone to capture food images like this bowl of Tortilla Soup.
When I don’t have time to grab my camera I use my phone when I see a beautiful sunrise.
On a road trip I often take pictures through my car’s windshield when I am not the driver.
The Brown Pelican was taken with my old IPhone 7 Plus. All the rest were taken with my current IPhone 13.

Egidio’s challenge is Color in Black and White. I wasn’t quite sure how to approach the challenge until I read his post and saw his amazing examples. In his post he tells us “Even when a scene is presented entirely in shades of gray, our brains—conditioned by a lifetime of experience—can effortlessly “see” the familiar hues we expect. We project our own memories onto the print.”
At first I wasn’t sure how to respond to Egidio’s challenge. I ended up having fun as I searched through my archives. I hope you are able to “see” the colors in these images.

Every year, the Bahamian Junkanoo group Barabbas and the Tribe create special costumes for the St. Patrick’s Day and are a crowd favorite in both the Tybee Irish Festival parade and the Savannah St. Patrick’s Day Parades.
The fun starts a few days before the big Savannah St. Patrick’s Day parade when twice a night the Junkanoo Band marches through the Crab Shack on Tybee Island to the delight of everyone.
