Another photo from our hike last weekend. A pine cone embraced by the grass and sporting triangular shadows.

This macro pine cone is stunning! I see a mountain range here. Perhaps with snowy sides. Such neat detail, I would never have guessed but for the large (in scale) blade of grass. So cool!

What a great shot J?

I am sorry to say, that I was too busy last week, reason I didn't come to visit you.

End of the month? As a banker, it is a nightmare for everyone. Hope it is quite this week, but I doubt it.

Enjoy the w/end.

Hugs,

Ralph hits it right on the head! Love this, the textures, colors & shadows ~ a perfect find for SSS!!
Your photo puts me right into the heart of the pine cone!

EVERYWHERE SHADOWS

Shadows above and shadows below,
Shadows that blaze and shadows that glow;
Shadows outside and shadows indoors,
Shadows on trees and shadows on floors;
Everywhere shadows calling my name,
Everywhere shadows no one can tame.

bird watching and staying home for the summer

Ink and Watercolor Figure Painting

Thank you to everyone who dropped by to wish me a good trip. I am still in California. Sputnik tolerated the air flight well and has adjusted pretty quickly to her new surroundings. I have been slowly listing my paintings that I had left in California in my Gallery Juana Etsy shop. Those paintings are larger than what I have been doing lately. Most of the watercolors that I used were from Daniel Smith. I love his oranges, yellows, browns and golds.

first surly lht bike tour

night bugs against an evening sky Recently we took our first overnight bike tour which went pretty well. For the time being we are making do with the camping equipment we already have, so items are heavier than we'd like. A plus side: although the tent is huge, which adds to the weight, it is roomy and comfy. surly lht, just arrived Most of the State parks have bicycle/hiker campgrounds and are usually off one of the hiking trails. It didn't take us long to reach the park. After one hour and a half ride, we reached the park. There was some highway riding which was very unnerving. sweet peas flower stand On the way back, we took a different route making most of the way on side streets with less traffic and most with a bike lane. Along the way, we passed forests, farm lands, wild berry vines and flower stands. joining light and dark at 52 photos Just a quick note: my art blog has moved to http://GalleryJuana.com .
