Spring Not Yet Sprung

                                 It's that time of year to look behind you as Winter leaves us.
                                                        Look ahead for signs of Spring.
                                               Soon buds will be seen everywhere.
                                        CHEERS    TO  THE   FIRST  DAY  OF  SPRING

Couldn't Be Better

 Out for the morning to take photos.   These are my picks of the day.

 This is the Couch's Kingbird perched atop of this tree, above is his take off.  I love getting flight shots.
This is the Scissor tailed Flycatcher, up until today I have only seen these from the vehicle  window but today I got a photo of him, Ya! Couldn't be better.

Lucky Green

 In Texas I feel lucky to see the Green Jay as often as I do.
 This looks like a lucky catch.
Are you lucky enough to spot the clover?
HAPPY  ST.PATTY'S  DAY

Prickly Subject

 A walk along the trails at Chihuahua Park on a Saturday morning.
 This ant carefully walks about the thorns on this cacti.
 These flowers are beautiful to see but you don't want to touch.
What a lovely walk, thorns and all.

Negative Painting

Negative Painting is when you paint the space around the subject, these spaces are seen as shapes.
Once that is done the detail is painted to the main subject, in this picture it is the Clematis vine, it is a challenge to see only the shapes around a subject.
