The Answer my Friend is Blowing in the Wind

Windy days, and warming days here in Texas. And my allergies are in panic mode. But even that doesn’t stop me from trying to find something to capture on my wander/walkabouts.

Bluebonnets are the state flower here in Texas and I found some blooming at the university yesterday. Among some other blooms, magnolias, camilias, and the same Japanese maples I took in the fall are starting to bud new leaves!

But my all time favorites are the silhouettes of birds in trees. At least it’s not fungi.

It won’t be long before the silhouettes will be overtaken by bushy leaves in the trees. I do love a leaf less tree for photo taking purposes. And really they are rather cool looking.  Especially when there are birds in them! I really do love these.

What will Spring Bring? Hopefully some new and unknown territories. But I’m afraid the answer my friend is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind…but whatever it is I hope it’s good for everyone! We all need something good these days.

Carnation Sketch

I don’t do many flower doodles. I guess I like to doodle stuff with a face. Or if I can put a face on it I’ll doodle it. And any time I put eyes on a flower it just takes the essence of flowers away. I don’t think plants need faces. Trees especially. They have a quality about them that sees everything, knows more than we know and doesn’t need a face. If that makes sense…

Crappy little carnation Sketch

Crappy is the carnation that gets drawn by me. Quick little stupid sketch.

Feeling the UGHS of my life lately…
