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.

Migrating cranes

My friend had hundreds of tadpoles in her pool.  We scooped them out, put them in pails and took them to a nearby stream.  I am guessing the flying insect population dropped in that area :)

Time flies when you are having fun, so they say, but I have found that time also flies when you are not having fun ... Go figure!  So here we are another week under our belts and still no progress toward getting rid of the beast.  It would seem that this is going to be a long drawn out affair ... Stay safe everyone.  Don't be tempted to go out  or back to work before it is time ... and logic, good sense and science will tell us when that is.

There are all kinds of Messes we could refer to on this prompt ... I am guessing that Rain is thinking about the mess that comes with a move and especially with a 14 day Quarantine!  

Too me, this is messy hair ... but, I am guessing, not to her :) 

But, in my mind, The Corona Virus in the United States is the Biggest Mess of all!

Hmmmm ...

And, left unsaid ...  STAY HOME!

Freedom comes with responsibility.  Yes we have rights, but only as long as we respect the rights of others.  In a world-wide Pandemic, the law should be 

"DO NO HARM"

I get it that some people won't understand that, but our National leadership ???

What a mess!

BUBBLES

This was a fun prompt and I kept getting more ideas for "Bubbles", but I finally ran out of time ...

Hope you are all well and still following the safety
 directions .  :)

Easter 

Nothing feels like Easter here ... there are no church services, the stores are stacked full of Easter candy and stuffed bunnies, but no decorations at home.   The only thing that says "Easter" to me now is that it is warm outside and there are flowers blooming ... not many, but it is definately feeling like Spring.  So I did what I could with this prompt ... I do wish you all a wonderful Easter in hopes that you are able to find ways to celebrate that holds meaning for you.

Stencil Art

 

Stenciling is not something I normally do so I was struggling with the concept a bit.  I think I lost the stencil parts once I colored in, but as I was pleased with the outcomes , I left them.  We are still struggling with the idea of being in the house all of the time, but having Rain's prompts to distract me has been a godsend.  Thank you, Rain and all of you who join in this fun ... you are making my day ... my week and who knows however long this will be :)
