Weekly Photo Challenge: Up Close

I struggled with this week’s Up Close challenge. After all, my phone is my camera.

I wanted to take a picture of a sliced dragon’s egg cucumber; unfortunately, said cucumber could not be photographed.

So said the rules of Tryon Palace Historic Sites and Gardens:

Photography by visitors is permitted in the gardens and in the Pepsi Family Center, but not inside galleries or historic buildings.

So, I found myself drawn to my old standbys: my cat and bricks.

Don’t forget to follow me on:

Facebook – where I share news stories, articles from other blogs, and various and sundry miscellany that happens to catch my eye. It’s stuff you won’t see here! Well, mostly.

Instagram – where I show you my Life in Motion and share quotes and such. The widget only shows my last three photographs – don’t you want to see them all?

Twitter – where you can see my thoughts in 140 characters or less. Also, funny retweets.
