Thursday Art Date With Rain ... Flowers Blooming

Once again I am faced with making choices as I have so many pictures of flowers blooming ... Flowers like everything in nature is another of my passions. As before, I suggest that you click to enlarge to get a better view ...

And, of course a little digital art ... 

I don't know if I have picked the best of what I have because I was only able to go through a few of my files before I already had too many to choose from.  If Rain ever repeats this prompt, I have many more. 😂

Thursday Art Date With Rain ... Pollinate

 Pollinate

Hope for the Ukrainians  💙

Digitally altered photos

Digitally enhanced sketches

Our pollinators are tiny but mighty. So much so that we couldn't exist without them ... and yet our farms spread pesticides with little concern for the damage they do, so our bee population is withering and even some of our butterflies populations are shrinking .  Man is his own worst Enemy and without an awareness and a commitment to change, we will all pay the price.

Thursday Art Date with Rain ... Sun and Water

 Sun and Water

A Simplistic Digital Painting ... just for fun :)

We lived on a lake for 15 years and every morning was a new version of the sunrise ... so my issue again was picking out the best of them because I have many, many pictures.  Actually, I wasn't able to go through all of my pictures, so if Rain decides to do a repeat on this prompt some day, I will be able to bring up fresh new photos :)  I suggest that you click and enlarge to get the full effect of these photos ...

The next two collages are from some of my travels ...

And then some older art pieces ... mostly digital art :)

Our weather has been so bad lately, rainy and cold for the most part, that it was fun digging out some old pictures of the sun and the water.  Of course today and for the rest of the week we are supposed to be in the 80's with full sun.  Good timing, Rain 😊
