Oh your mom had my taste in flowers ... I was so thrilled to see lillies of the valley this year for the first time in ages. (Because we were home in Oregon at the right time this year instead of in Florida due to the Pandemic. ) .... you have so much beauty in your own backyard (and are creating more through your art)... not a bad place to be at a time like this . (But I still wish you cooler weather soon.)
Beautiful photos and an even more beautiful painting! Lilies of the Valley are my daughter's favorite flower. We've tried growing them here but, sadly, they don't do well. I'm also staying home -- too much uncertainty not to do so!
I love the Oriole, it is a beautiful bird. The monarch is lovely. Cute squirrel shot. Your painting is beautiful. Take care! Enjoy your day! Have a great week ahead.
BUT!!!! You're getting some amazing photos! Thanks for linking up at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2020/07/sleeping-and-stretching-fulltime.html. Stay safe and well!
A lovely collection of photos in this post! That bright orange oriole is just stunning and regal looking. You are quite the artist - love the flowers you painted in memory of your mom. Hope you are well.
Please feel free to leave a comment, and hey, why not follow my blog too. I can't respond to every comment, but I will return the favour and visit your blog. I have turned off word verification, but it randomly shows up, that's a BLOGGER glitch.

ReplyDeleteKaren, Love the Oriole and the Monarch. Never see these here in my parts of Alberta. Thanks for sharing and have a good week. Sylvia D.
ReplyDeleteAnimal shots, birds in particular, are an exercise in patience - like a fun mediation (or a frustrating one)
