Flirtatious Spring
Today I'm 'painting' in words:
Flirtatious spring,
Wearing that bright green dress,
Stretched like velvet over voluptuous hills and valley.
Gaudy scarf of dogwood and redbud,
Brooch of forsythia worn a shade too low.
Rouge of tulips,
Rings of posies.
She wears a sly smile
Playing about her lips.
She winks,
And struts towards summer.

A Rooster Named Opal Ann
It's a long story. Suffice it to say, he's now called 'Opie'.

Garnet is a lovely greyhound who belongs to an equally lovely couple.

Plein air painting at the Illinois River Watershed Learning Center
Can you tell I was appreciating the warm afternoon sun after a really cold morning of painting?

Deep Summer's Glow
That glow of deep summer,
when the air is hot and still
and buzzes with the thrum of cicadas.
The water hardly moves, there is no breeze,
even the sun seems to have stopped
advancing across the sky.
