Changes

 Another wet day so I have been playing with photos of raindrops, little changes can make a big difference.

As Good as it Gets?

After the rain stopped I went outside to practice my water drop photos.

 

 

I made use of my tripod and 10second timer, trying for the clearest shots I could get.

I only used Auto and Program settings with close up setting, I'll keep trying for that clear photo.

Tropical Delight

Not my own flowers but those found at the Greenhouse near by.  

Sweet Smell

The sweet smell of the shrubs along the trail, sunny warm summer days.
I was using the Macro close up setting for this and other photos today.

Fly away Home

Ladybug, ladybug fly away home,

Your house is on fire, your children are alone.

That's What I Like

Ready to Paint that is the name of the series of watercolor painting books, this is one of the projects from  Trees and Woodlands.  Trace and paint,  Sooooo easy to follow instructions and the results are quite pleasing.

Just Another Day

and 3 of the things I saw on my walk today.

Cedar Waxwing, Yellow Goatsbeard and clover.

 What a wonderful day.

Stood the Test of Time

This is a water colour painting I did, sometime in the late 1970's, not looking to bad for the many years I've had it stored away.

The subject, fishing boats, is still one of my favorite to paint, that and Country Cottages.

This one I painted in 2011

Youth

What beautiful, young pine cones.  I just had to take some pictures before they grew up.
