  • Ravens
  • Rock Dove - I removed a busy bg and replaced it with this one.
  • Dahlias and Liatris - a watercolor-like treatment; I had to laugh at Judith's comment yesterday that it made her think of kicking over the marbles with the boots, since I had thought the same thing.
  • Still Life with Boots, Crystal and Marbles
  • Orchids  - the colorful pottery behind the goblets in yesterday's still life is a canister set, although I have never actually put anything in them.
  • Still Life
  • Tulips in My Garden - a watercolor version
  • Darwin Tulips, the Perennial Tulip -  Greg notified me that he is out of the hospital.
  • Tulips from Last Year - this year's tulips are just beginning to pop up.  Greg was dismissed from the hospital but he went back in almost immediately.  They have identified an infection associated with inflamation in his bowel and are treating him with a very restricted antibiotic that requires that he be in the hospital to receive it, so he will be in for a while longer.
  • House Finch Bathing - the same little bird as yesterday's shot
  • House Finch Bathing
  • Trumpet Lilies - reminder of summer
  • Female House Finch (correct me if I am wrong, please) - I am so sorry to hear about the devastating tornadoes that ravaged Mississippi last evening.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected.
  • Asian Collared Dove
  • When Three Rock Doves Want to Bathe at the Same Time! - some of you may not have seen my note yesterday that Greg is back in the hospital.  He is hoping for a short stay this time.
  • Asian Collared Dove - sort of like it just takes off walking into space...Greg has notified me that he is back in the hospital; hopefully, it will be a short stay this time.
  • This flew past my deck the other day....not sure why the Patriots were in town.
  • Raven on a Very Windy Day
  • Columbine - I removed a busy background.
  • Asian Collared Dove - I did isolate the dove and remove a busy background.  Note from Robert in Australia:  We returned late yesterday, after a more than two thousand miles round trip. On reflection it has been the most strenuous trip we have ever done. Seeing the weather forecast was very reasonable, with plenty of sunshine, we took a shot at it and drove for fourteen hours to get to our accommodation. Next day we had wonderful sunshine but thereafter the wheels fell off. The weather forecasters got it monumentally wrong; out of the nine days we had six days were totally overcast, with drizzles, rain and even two thunderstorms. To say that we were in total disbelief would be a gross understatement. With nothing to lose we ploughed on no matter what to at least get home with something. Unfortunately, with our health issues we pushed it too far and are paying a price for it now. It will take some time to recover but with having to catch up with work on our rural property as well it might take longer then either one of us wishes for. Being old and in poor health is no fun, thus I have decided to cut back on all commitments for a month to recover and recuperate, hopefully. Smug Mug will be one of them. I apologise to all the fellow Smug Muggers for this absence but am hopeful that with rest I will be back with new zest and enthusiasm to go on for another year, having been a part of it for more then ten years. Kind Regards Robert / I know we all wish Robert and Marlis the best and a quick recovery!

    It almost looks like a colourful octopus. Very pretty in shape and colours. Fine job of selecting and pp.

    Judy, You did a great job putting this Columbine against a black background.

    Very bright pink one! I love all the colors that columbine flowers can be, even in the wild. My favorite is Colorado's blue and white ones!
