Click on the image to view full size

Welcome to the April Virtual Sketch Date! This month's reference is supplied by Jeanette Jobson. This is a rhododendron bud on an ancient bush outside my window. The bud opens up into a pale lavender pink bloom and is so beautiful and never lasts long enough it seems.

Following the normal schedule, all entries are due by Saturday, April 24th and should be posted on your blog and/or on the VSD Flickr group. If you are posting your entry on Flickr please use the tag VSD_Apr2009.

What you need to know...
  • The results post will be posted on Sunday, April 25th.
  • After you have posted your entry on your blog, come here and enter your name and the URL for your VSD blog post into the Mr. Linky widget. Then press enter. (As always, please link directly to your specific VSD post and not to your blog's main page.)
  • The Mr. Linky widget will be removed from the results page on the following Sunday, May 2nd.

When you enter your information into the Mr. Linky widget, it will automatically create the link list. Please check back here in the middle of the week if you post your result during the first couple of days.
