It Rained......... a lot....

I have lots I could say about the flooding in Texas right now.

Our hearts are broken over Wimberley.

If you've read my blog awhile, you know that my family

vacations there a lot.  We were last there in May of 2014.

We love Wimberley and the ankle deep Blanco River.

So sad.

These two pictures are of the golf course behind my house this morning.

It always gets some run off from the San Jacinto River when it floods.

There is a reason my neighborhood is built up above the golf course.

It's at least a five foot drop down my back fence to the course.

I now have egrets, etc. for my viewing pleasure.

And at night........ the frogs sing like I've never heard.

I think a million came in with the water!

It's definitely a swamp experience!

Pray for the flood victims!

What is the meaning of this meeting?

Noticed a bunch of buzzards/vultures sitting on my next door neighbor's roof last week.

An eerie sight!

Couldn't find any adjustment, filter, etc. to really add to this .... need a sky edit I guess. 

Any suggestions?

I used a "spotlight" edit on picmonkey ... see below...

Two of them sat on my roof..... just so ya know...

This was all before a bunch of rain came in... so the sky was a boring flat color...

I sent my neighbor a text with the photo and said 

"look on your roof... they've heard of your imminent demise."!!!!

Happy Easter

Made a few bunnies for the grandchildren and great-niece!!!

Pretty basic.  But, there is a tutorial here if you need one.

Have a blessed Easter!

Gesso Book

Yesterday I was working in my gesso book...... an old Gregg Shorthand book.

These pages are mostly inspired by the Misty Mawn class... Full Circle Workshop.

But I find that I use this book for all my classes to a degree.

Need to do the cover....

So............. this is to say that I am doing a few things..... but mostly just my art journals.... which

is what I consider this book to be.

Spring is Arriving

The time change, the rain, the arrival of oak and pine pollen.....

it all adds up to the promise of spring around the corner!

Hope you are seeing the same!

Daily Verses

..... playing........  facebook challenge....... I like a background with my verse.......
