Summer solstice~ what was blooming yesterday?








Plains cactus, yucca, prickly poppy and thistle~ so many scratchy and prickly things! The tall grass was itchy and full of whirrrring grasshoppers, but Gretel was as happy as pie. :)




wild rose


goldenaster and a honeybee


spiderwort~ I would have thought this would have a prettier name!


copper mallow




Happy summer! XO~

"It's funny how you can go about your life for years and not see what's just on the other side of the fence. "

Yes, I've had some deep thoughts lately. LOL! :) Hopefully they will translate into paintings soon~ I've been so lazy, but needed some new energy and new ideas. Vacations are good for that!
