May Meanderings

The April Birthday Extravaganza is complete. I had fun creating a journal page using images from the cards that my friends and family sent. They all had a nature theme. I think others know me well and know what I love.... here is the page above.

The Mill Valley Community Center has a Senior Art Show each May. This year I entered one of my paintings, Orchard Sunset.

I like this one as it was created by pouring 3 colors and then "finding" the subject. Later I did some negative painting to create a little more realistic orchard.

I stopped by early one morning and some nice lady took my photo with my iPhone. She did not really know how to use it so she did not get the painting in it and I am a little fuzzy.  But, at least, we know I was there :-).

Our Organic Garden now has my mini potting bench. I got a chair for my small deck and no longer have room for this sweet little bench. I like seeing it in the garden and it is being put to good use.

Last week, before Sunrise, I shot this black legged stilt in the marsh area. I had no idea I was going to get this wonderful reflection in the water. It was taken with my iphone so I could to get it larger as I do not have a zoom. I am very happy with the image, especially with the clouds.

My early morning walks are often the best part of my day. Some mornings, it is hard to get out of the door first thing in the morning. But then, at times I am rewarded with sights like this and it makes it all worth while. Also, when I walk my 2 miles first thing, it is done and I no longer have to think about IF I am going or WHEN I am going. I have GONE!

I love this photo of Elsabet and me. It was taken at the Marin Horizon School's Grandparents' Day.

They put on a very nice event and Elsabet did a great job in their Primary 2 play.
