I love the Black-eyes Susans of summer and was amazed by the flower flies that looked like little bees. Credits: -background: 52 Inspirations {2018} no. 33, Papers by WendyZine -frame: 52 Inspirations {2018} no. 31 by Vicki Stegall -paints (one used as masks): 52 Inspirations {2018} no. 37...

Wishing you a very happy birthday! Hope you spend it enjoying the outdoors with lots of photos too. :bday

DH isn't home yet from the weekly bird survey. Don't know if he'll have seen anything different, but the weather is gorgeous. I'm feeling a little chilly right now with the windows open but that meant last night I worked a little in my studio on the new larger piece. Ooops, DH just arrived. More...

Nice day today. I had a doctor's appt. at 2pm in the middle of art class but I had agreed to it as the next available was the middle of Sept. But this morning got a call asking if I could come earlier, like noon. So I was very happy to oblige. Saw a gastroenterologist for a follow up (the one I...

Sunny and warm again today but I've been fairly comfortable inside. Not getting a lot done, but that'll have to do. We'll go out to dinner in A/C so that'll be nice. Chris, sorry you've had some down days. Doing that puzzle while Cait had her coffee sounds really fast! Building up the area...

Silver City may be my favorite place in New Mexico and the Pinos Altos Mountains above it are wonderful for birding. Credits: AnnaLift of Savannah Squares by terryb https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=415435&title=savannah-squares&cat=1351 all by Anna Aspnes...

Woo hoo! Nancy's back. What fun to see Denali. It's warming up here but still OK. Hope everyone is doing something enjoyable.

Class yesterday was a challenge and fascinating. We explored using watercolor crystals, something totally new to me. I've posted some from it on my blog. I'm also working on two other pieces, one nearing done and the big one just starting. We also went to the Mexican restaurant again last night...

Writing about my same old, same old just doesn't come naturally, so many days I just can't do it. Sorry to being MIA so often. Sunday the weather got better, Monday was cooler but with some rain and since it has been gorgeous and cooler. Tuesday had a meeting, Wednesday annual eye exam, today my...

Stunning! Great photo and wonderful arrangement of shapes and color.

This is just wonderful! The arrangement of photos is splendid (great template?), they are lovely and the colors superb. Is that a wren in the lower left?

The heat kind of got to me yesterday but mostly in terms of not doing anything but read after going out for lunch and groceries. But we were able to sleep well with just the fan and I even slept late. Today I worked on a challenge again and this time got a result we liked. Not surprisingly in...
