Wow this is gorgeous!

They are lovely on a salad and you pick them when they're pretty and rinse them like you would lettuce. I did an image search for 'edible marigold' and garden gate magazine had a photo of a pretty salad of just mixed greens and flowers. ;)

Reed told us the place we liked in Paradise was gone, but we drove up to see for ourselves. I loved the scenic narrow road, but also there was another place, George Walker House we wanted to try. Maybe it was a good place for birders, but yard clutter showed up in nearly every photo.

Wonderful take on the lift! Love the hot pink with the green, and the strong lines and shapes of contrast.

Love the sketch treatment and how you colored it with such a watery blending.

I like the note, the stitches and the sequins. Yes, marigolds. They're good to keep insects away I think. I love these because they're so simple with the single petals and they're edible. ;)

I love how you clipped your photo to the negative and created unity by repeating the photo is so many creative ways.

Fun art. I love how you colored the photo of the woman, and your use of repetition.

Congratulations on the GSO! Those flowers had to brighten your day then and now they're good for mine, too. Got me a smile over here. ;)

On our last day we told Reed about the party in our attic. He said we heard ringtails and that they'd get indignant when he relocated them. We met James Petersen, a very helpful bird guide who had been birding since he was five. He ID'd the black-throated sparrow I saw at Jasper's.

A wonderful fun page that brings a smile. I love the suits with the wide lapels.

Congratulations on the Standing O! A wonderful collection of photos to honor probably the favorite flower of any toddler and nemesis of [almost] every suburban lawn mower. I love the sun, moon stars thing and just might borrow it.

Wonderful ART! I can totally see this on my wall when I lived in the city and rode the train to work.

The red flag winds were worrisome but at Jasper's it was very comfortable out taking photos of birds when it was 89 degrees. We were happy we found an alternative to Lordsburg's mediocre restaurant that we'll make a habit, and we'll remember being a few feet from a curled up rattlesnake.

Love your graphic and whimsical style. Inspiring for sure. I want to take another shot at it when I get sorted out from our trip in a few days. ;)

A darling photo. I love how the eyes are so sweet and clear, and I keep seeing if their colors are in the hearts, and yes. I think they are. ;)

Wow! Seven sisters. I'm glad they gave you fond memories. This is a beautiful page design. And I thought for a moment, in 1952, none of them could have a credit card without a man's signature.

A fun page featuring her expression and your artsy take on the photo. And please can I be a redhead too? Congrats on the newsletter.

Maybe, I think I'd like a spoon. ;)

Love the depth and mood you created with the papers, with graffiti, and how it looks like your photo is on two different layers.
