Flower Photo Friday

Bluebells in Spurge.

The Pinery

We are just back from our trip to the Pinery. We had a GREAT time.
It was cold the first few days, then one perfect day. The last day
was very hot. But no rain to speak of--only a few sprinkles, and NO
BUGS (except ticks). The wildflowers were quite late because of a
cool spring, but there were still lots to be seen. I will be posting
more pix when I have time. Lots of unpacking and catch-up and busy
day planned with a going away party for our daughter Pearl Girl, who
is moving to Texas with her husband, Karaoke Man. Plus Piano Boy had
a big rehearsal for his two upcoming recitals. Photo by Biker Buddy.

Off to the Pinery

We're leaving today for the Pinery. I probably will not be back 'til Tuesday or even Wednesday.

At this point, the slide-show images are all from the 2005 trip to the Pinery because I didn't have much time and they were the ones that were handy.

Postcard from the Pinery

We are leaving tomorrow to go camping at the Pinery. We'll be gone through Monday. I may be posting tomorrow morning, if I have time--or not--so I'll see you on TUESDAY! Have a great Memorial day.

Tulips in our backyard

I never get tired of tulips! :-D

They are so graceful!

Mothra with Morning Glories

OK, here's my Mothra, or son of Mothra, or grandson of Mothra (must be a guy, kidnapping the maiden in distress!). With detail.

Gouache on Strathmore 11 x 15 cold press paper.

Rocks: Chinese brush painting

I've been reading about Chinese brush painting and attempting to learn it, but it is not easy. These rocks were done on newsprint, which is the recommended practice medium for beginners, but washes do not work well on it. See my orchids here.

Flower Photo Friday: the Peony Tulips again

I love these tulips. I hope they post well, because this monitor is
annoying.

Tulips in early morning sun and mist

I find myself fascinated by senescing flowers--maybe they resonate for
me. I'm a senescing flower myself, lol!

Return of the pinheads

LOL!
