| Took a nature walk today....to see the signs of spring! |
 |
| This is my wisteria....poised to bust open any minute with big beautiful purple blooms |
 |
| This tree is starting to do something...with these neat little tassels... very oriental |
 |
| This is a scary face in a tree!! |
 |
| This is a fern that was nipped by the very late freeze we had recently |
 |
| And this is yellow jasmine...it grows wild in the woods around my home. And it is full bloom all over the place. I love the color yellow...it is a "happy" color. Many of these photos are the small things....tiny details that you have to really look for to be able to notice. I love doing that. It is like a treasure hunt, which I used to do with my parents. We would go for walks, and try to find "treasures"...whether we were at the beach, or the lake, or just out in the country. It might be a piece of a shell, or a pretty rock, or a turkey feather (which I found today). They taught me to be observant, and to notice the fascinating details found in nature all around us. And it can be a time of gratitude and appreciation for all that God has blessed us with all around us. It is also a skill that is useful as an artist. A lot of my work involves detailed work just like these photos. I hope that you enjoy all of it! Thanks for your support! sheltongail@hotmail.com |
