Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July.

Every year I make a bouquet to take to our friend's party. I want to share with you. I hope you had a good one too.

Cactus Monday - Gila Woodpecker

One of the little sketches I did while in AZ. I haven't put any color to it. I will later... I hope.

Happy Cactus Monday to all.

Cactus Monday - Purple Prickly Pear

My DB and I just returned from AZ.  We were in the Tuscon area for a few days then on to the Grand Canyon. It was a marvelous trip. Did I see cactus? You bet. Here is a purple Prickly Pear cactus. I had never seen any so big. They seemed to be everywhere. 

We hadn't been in AZ for about 10 years so it did seem to have some different cactus. Or maybe I am now more aware of them.

Happy Cactus Monday.

Animal Wednesday - Bugs

It is that time of year. The bugs are coming out and it is such fun to come upon one that I can't identify. It must depend on water as I found it right next to the Wabash River this spring. 

Happy Animal Wednesday to all. I hope you are enjoying your spring.
