I love apricots so I wish I were there to join the celebration. Your shots captured it well.

Although I'm not a fan of apricots, your photos make them look so very delicious. Another great festival in your area! I'm impressed.

Honey with apricot--sounds like a great combination.

Those apricots are huge and beautiful. Oh, the things that can be made with those beauties.

Love apricots, and I'm sure marble has its important place, but this is an odd combination. Wish we could have joined you at the festival. Fine photos, but this is what we have come to expect from you.
