Playing with pattern

Playing with pattern in the background. Watercolour of bamboo then added the orchid in front.
Phalaenopsis blooming again this year, I was surprised to have it bloom twice this year!

West Coast Winter. Rain, rain, rain, rain and more rain.........

Christmas Hat

Magical Christmas Hat.

Christmas Mail

Delicious Christmas Mail. Christmas Cards can be very tasty! The cat knows better.

Christmas Tag

Playing with a vintage tag, watercolour and a bit of computer magic.

phenomenon

Phenomenon of the natural world that from a dull earthy chrysalis could emerge something as beautiful and ephemeral as a butterfly?

Watched a travel show the other night from Northern China and they eat butterfly chrysalis, apparently they taste smokey!

Prehistoric

 Prehistoric garden, bracken and ginkgo older than recorded history. Also both in my garden.

Prehistory (Latin, præ = before; Greek, ιστορία = history) is a term used to describe the period before recorded history.

Savour

savour (derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in)

At the end of a long day climbing into a cozy bed in a our own home to savour the total comfort. To be so fortunate to have both a warm bed and home. I am grateful to savour the warmth.

Sneaky

I'm not sure who is sneaking up on who! We have had our first bout of cold weather and sneaky cat is on the prowl. I have been feeding the birds and they are driving the cats crazy.

Burning illustration friday

The rosehip red warmed  the leaf to burning as the colours merged.

Fall is in the air

The colours are changing fast! Misty grey clouds float in over the inlet and the garden is shrouded in damp.
