Good Morning, Sweet Friends!
I hope your weekend is off to a great start~
We have cooler temps and a nice breeze this morning.
The storms that passed across the East were fierce!
Do hope all are safe and didn't suffer severe damage.
Sharing two new prints I have added to my 2nd Etsy shop~
When I first opened my business my father-in-law made
the strap steel bracket in this picture to hold my shop sign!
I only kept the store open for a short time because
local art festivals made it impossible to keep up with both.
The bracket has become a favorite perch for our feathered friends.
Sweet Peas climb a nearby trellis and spill over to the post & bracket.
The Sweet Peas are from my grandmother's city garden.
She had them growing along a long chain link fence in the 50's & 60's.
My heart skips a beat when I see flow blue...
I love all colors.
When asked, "What is your favorite color?" I have to think!
It depends on the day... my mood... where I'm standing... the weather...
What I'm working on... the flowers in bloom... (you get the idea)
Color pairs are even more fun!
Yellow & Blue do top my list.
Pink & Sage...
Red & Aqua...
Sweet feathered friends with their big personalities... the perfect colors!
The sweetest of subjects~
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Echinacea & Bumble Bees
"Mr. Fuzz-Butt"
This morning Pup & I had a fine time in the gardens...
The scent of my bug repellent overpowered any sweet blossoms~
The bees didn't seem to be too repelled by me!
My sweet friend Debra from Sparrowgrass shared that she pet a bumble bee!
I thought of trying...
Chickened out!
(I hope you'll visit her blog... filled with delight~)
All sorts of bees... every shape & size~
Makes my heart smile!
This wee little guy finally landed... TINY!!
Cannot hear his movements~ so smooth and still!
Milkweed pit-stop...
This friend was dashing about~ not very easy to catch with the camera!
Hope your day has been BEEzy with wonderful projects~

Garden Friends~
Remember the song by ABBA... "Dancing Queen?"
I emailed this photograph to a sweet friend and she wrote back
sharing that the bee looked as if it were dancing on the flower!
How sweet they are to see and hear around our gardens~
Yesterday was a chorus of bees!
Red Admiral was very patient while I took oodles of pictures on our Sweet Peas~
The Trumpet Vine and Sweet Peas are participating in some form of
Garden Olympics! Each climbing to the top of a nearby baby Maple tree!
With all the rain, heat & humidity... who will reach the top first?!
Hope your day is filled with pleasant visitors~

American Goldfinch & Peonies
"Peony Perch"
A new print available in my 2nd Etsy Shop
Reminds me of pink lemonade...
So many colors pair beautifully~ yellow and pink are soft & shabby chic!
In our gardens Goldfinch perch anywhere their little hearts choose to!
Some of our Peonies are sturdy and the Goldfinch perch on the buds...
Swaying back and forth when they land.
Wonder if they find the bouncing-sway to be a fun ride?
Our daughter brings bouquets of blossoms in all summer~
Her windowsill is line with creamers, jars, bottles & blossoms.
I thought her Peony arrangement would be sweet with two bright yellow friends!
Hope your weekend is off to a sunny start!

This is a peek at one corner of my little studio...
I have a corner cabinet that this antique cheese box sits on~
Filled with larger shells and gorgeous starfish.
I love to gather favorite things for still life studies!
Add two feathered friends...
Wishing you all the best!
