Jacki is stepping away from this challenge for a bit. I am filling in for her.
Our quote for this two week CE Challenge is:
"Bloom where you are planted."
Defined by AI in this way....
"AI Overview
Bloom Where You're Planted
The phrase “bloom where you are planted” is a proverbial saying that means to grow and flourish in any situation, rather than just surviving. It can also mean to make the most of what you have, be grateful for your current situation, and share your talents with the world. The phrase can be applied to many situations, such as a job, relationship, where you live, or a specific period in your life."
Your challenge is to decide how you want to illustrate this quote......it could be a photograph, a composite, scrapbook page....the choice is yours.
Let's inspire each other to "bloom" creatively as we respond to this challenge.

Thanks for getting this started, Clive. It's always interesting to see plants thriving in somewhat unexpected places. You found a perfect image for the quote.

Taking the quote literally, I came up with a page similar to Clive's. We were at Longwood Gardens when I noticed bluebell plants thriving amongst the ivy. (Ivy sprigs from PNGtree)  |
