Lizard's Meal

This Wolf Spider has been feasting on bugs for weeks awaiting his photograph to be taken...Alas...the lizard found the spider first!

Amaryllis Glory

This month I will have this painting on exhibit at the Glynn Art Association in the Juried Member's Room Exhibit. These Amaryllis bulbs are now listed in the fall catalogue of Messelaar Bulbs imported from Holland. Each bulb send up 3 flowers, and then performs planted in one's garden at a later date with the same intensity of color.

Back yard garden

Temps this morning let up so that gardening was a tolerable and pleasant, although warm, event. The leaves had piled up and all needed a spruce up. Also, I found a lemon verbena plant to preplace one 3 years old that had been lost in last year's freeze. There is more to do, but that is the pattern of a garden.

Sophie Looking

Sophie has discovered a new vista..."just watching!"

Mr. Bing's Zinnias

Mr. Bing, my neighbor, shared some of his brillant zinnias with me. The colors are like sunsets or fireworks, and my students and I will enjoy painting them!

TRUST JESUS

When Nigel, my puppy, and I walk early mornings at Gould's Inlet, I always look up at the sign in the upper window of the lovely three story white beach residence: "TRUST JESUS"! This morning I looked up, and...the message is gone!! I felt a great sadness, and will now look to see if anyone is indeed living on the third floor of that empty beach house...no life on the other floors or out front.

Pastor Paul's 5 year Anniversary

This Sunday celebrated 5 years of Paul and Christine Elbert's arrival at LOLSSI. An Hour glass was presented to Pastor Paul amidst sunflowers, palm blossoms and a low country shrimp boil!
