Thursday Art Date With Rain


Your Flower

I am a Pisces, so my flower is the Water Lily.  I can't say I am disappointed because I love Water Lilies and have, over the years, taken many pictures of them.  These are just a few ...


I have been taking pictures of flowers for years so picking out my favorites took quiet a bit of time.  I am sure I will run across pictures that I over looked and wish I had included, but for now these are a few of my favorites :)








I searched for the original of the sun flower with the bees making it look like a Smiley Face, but somehow in the switching to my new computer, I have misplaced it.  So I added a reduced version that I use for my blog. *


Even in death, the lilies are beautiful ...

It has been relaxing and enjoyable escaping into my computer files during these difficult times.  So far we are all well and I send my prayers out to all of you that you are in a safe place and remain well.

I'm glad to hear that you and your family are all safe and well, and hope and pray that it continues so. Your photos are all beautiful. I love all flowers, from exotic to wild flowers, and always feel good surrounded by these beautiful creations. My fave photo today is the cat sniffing the flowers. My cat often sniffed at the flowers and would sometimes jump back or sneeze, and then go back for the next sniff! It was so funny. Have a great day, take care stay well. Hugs, Valerie

andrea, thank you lots for visiting and leaving a great comment! I posted more paintings today actually, including a poppy I love them. The hibiscus is enormous in your daughter's hand! Lets keep in touch... the country is so depressing but we're still here trying to live a creative life anyway! LeeAnna at not afraid of color

LOVE your sunflower face at the end of the post. Remided me of a sunflower I saw in y town a few years ago. Somebody had "shaved" out eyes and a moth in the middle of the flower. Looks cool. :) And made me smile too.

I love the lilies and poppis too. BTW, who doesn´t?
Glad to find you healthy :)
