An Angel in the dandelions

Did a lot of resting today (after a lot of work if I’m being honest).  Did take time to play around with the paints and the camera.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Sunday.

Dipping a toe into Water Color

Got nothing tonight – my little eyeballs are dried out from updating my blog and putting past posts into categories.  So I thought I would share my recent foray into water color.  Not a medium I’ve really played with before and they’re not done, so be kind lol!

One tree …

It needed a friend, so I added a tree

Quit with the trees and since I had the green out, did a praying mantis

Suppose I could utilize Google and Youtube and pick up a few tips.  Think I will.  Maybe this weekend I’ll get the paint out again.

The littlest thing …

I sit outside at night, enjoying the quiet night, fresh air and the stars.  Tonight was no exception, but by my foot – about as small as this series of hyphens ________ was the littlest thing.

I have no clue what it will grow up to be.  But once it caught my attention, I had to capture a tiny portion of its journey.

Here it is making its way to the right.

Is it sensing an obstacle?

Prepping for the big event.

Not a problem – stretching itself over the ‘canyon’.

And a brief look back from under the plank.

 

The littlest things are programmed to keep going, to push forward – to overcome obstacles. Inspired by this little guy who came out at night, amongst the predators – to inch forward to its destiny.

Thanks for being by my foot 🙂

Caution – wet flowers

My latest endeavor.  It’s not done, but I am for the night!

Sleepy, and waiting up for the first time for Nic.  So this is what that feels like eh?

Time to wash my paint brushes and brush my teeth and remember that God doesn’t have Grandchildren.  He’s got Nic’s back on his first late night drive home.  Can’t wait to hear all the Homecoming details.

Good night friends.

And, as happy as I already was with my site, thank you so much to new visitors for the excitement you’ve given me these past two days by being part of it!  ♥

And the day is salvaged with painting
