Eggscellent!

Farm fresh eggs in designer colors from a friend of ours who raises chickens. I've always wanted blue eggs. Never knew they came in gray and green as well. 

Trees in bloom

I love it when the trees are in bloom. How would the world look if they stayed those colors all year long?

[Notice the black crane sitting on a rock in the pond? I got a closer shot of him but it didn't turn out that well.]

Rolling hills

You can see just a hint of spring in the hills. The evergreens are ready. Hopefully the rest of the trees will green up soon. 

Build a bridge

Here's a shot from a recent road trip. An ordinary bridge with some architectural features makes a great subject for a painting. 

A star with stripes

This bird was a flash of color on an otherwise gray afternoon at the park. 

Hens and chicks

On my walks around the neighborhood I see so many gorgeous gardens. I'm always concerned people might be worried about some strange woman taking pictures of their plants. 

These hens and chicks were nesting at the corner of someone's yard outside their fence, so I figured they were fair game for a photo op. 

Bamboo
