Alice's Roses

Alice grows beautiful roses and brought this bouquet to our painting class for our brush strokes! This rose variety is Queen Elizabeth.

Kayak Trip

Kayaking in the fall with the family...tide is coming in so we didn't go all the way out to the river. I worked my feet in order to turn the kayak. It was fun as long as I used my paddle correctly. I got in but I was lifted out by my son!

Autumnal Equinox Egg

At the time of the Autumnal Equinox, it has been said that an egg can be put upwards without falling at a certain hour of the day of the Equinox.

This egg was set in an upwards position on a day not associated with the date and time in question.

Therefore, one can set an egg up at anytime by having the egg yolk sitting heavier at the bottom of the egg!!!!

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.
