Three or More Thursday #3

Three or more Thursday is still a new thing going here. Thank you to Tam at The Gypsy's Corner for hosting this. I am doing this as a scheduled post this time. I need to head to SF to attend a Continuing Ed course that I need to renew my license. The license needs to be renewed so I can continue to do my job. In case you are wondering, SF means San Francisco.
I decided to choose pictures I have in my files since I didn't have time to create new ones. These are 3 pots I used this past summer and arranged them in an interesting group of three with different heights. I liked the way the before picture turned out. Turned into an interesting composition with the mixture of colors there.
I planted impatiens in the pots. This is an early picture after then had been growing for awhile. My impatiens got much bigger than that by the end of the summer. I really enjoyed this viginette over the summer. I am hoping to add to it some next summer. I am not sure what I will do yet.
Have a Happy Three or More Thursday while I am busy cramming my brain with more education for my job.

I like it! Impatiens are one of my fave summer flowers and they look great in those pots. I hope your trip to SF is a good one and you're able to accomplish what you need to get your renewal. Hugs and update when you return!

Great pots. They look nice alone or with the impatience. I had a conference in San Francisco a few years ago. We took three extra days and saw some wonderful sites. Is SF far from you? (I know - you're there to work!)
Hugs,
Sweetie
