My granddaughter on a trip to the mall and when I saw this cute new bench artistically painted, I had to get a picture of her. Fun color challenge!

A trip to South Padre Island--first time for grandchildren and son-in-law, so it was a beautiful time had by all! First trip anywhere in two years!

"Today is the first day of the rest of your life." by Charles Dederich. I took the picture of the seagulls at Daytona Beach and they always make me think of spreading your wings and flying! I love the water and it always makes me think of renewal--looking forward and enjoying the present.

I've never been on a birding walk before and this had boardwalks all over the water and marshes where wild alligators lurked and all kinds of water birds made their home. It was one of the highlights of my trip. Not only that, but the tiny green heron chick was in the long grasses below and I...

Created this for the August Challenge 2--a poster announcing a Wolf Howl-In. They have them at some wolf reserves. This is Boltz, an omego wolf of the pack at The International Wolf Center, Ely, Minnesota. Though we didn't go to a Wolf Howl-In per se in New Mexico, we did wake early and I...

Art Journaling--Challenge 5 for August. In the Houston area, it is sizzling, like most of the country and we often don't really get relief until October, but I'm so looking forward to a break in the heat. At 107 heat index--and my AC went out, it's sweltering!

Over Christmas, we had the delightful experience of visiting an animated Jurassic World kind of dinosaur drive-thru. I took lots of pictures of the dinosaurs. This one was my favorite of a baby dinosaur puppet a puppeteer held close to the window to cheer the family. I love dinosaurs and the...

Photos of undersea life taken at various zoos. Lynne Anzelc's Mermaiden used.

My granddaughter did NOT want to take pictures or be a ballerina. Then one day, she said, "Grandma, take a picture of me." She looks like a vintage girl on a card!

I love romance and magic and fantasy, so created this with Daz 3D centaurs, and then added Vicki Stegall's Wonderfall, READ, CU Birds, Purple Haze, Use It All, Paper to bring it all together.

Thanks so much, Vicky, such a fun challenge! :)

Thanks so much! I was looking for everything that was in the same color scheme so something different than I've ever done before. Lots of fun. :)
