  1. I too like color challenges. Like your color choices. Not to find and scrap a picture.
  2. Here is my Februay

The weather has been up and down, but basically dark, dreary and rainy. Not real cold but below normal. Has been warm enough to melt our snow pack. The end of the month produced lots of snow. Hopefully it will last through the Spring. Saw the first real sign of Spring with the blooming of the crocus. They are so pretty with all the bright green around them. Finished painting the fawn I had started last month. Also painted several other things. A flying eagle and a bittern from my photos. Watched and did two painting from tuts, a goldfish and a plant. Started a couple of other drawings, but haven't worked on them for a while. The beginning of the month we went To Ankeny Hill. Had been months since we had been there. Mike also took several artsy pictures of me trying to recreate some he had taken in 1963. Sixty years sure has made a big different in my body and looks. We walked at the Cove one day that was not too dreary or wet. Janine went with us. We saw a common merganser there. First time to see one and first time at the cove. The osprey nest is still empty. Will have to wait until sometime in March for them to arrive. We also went to visit Melody. We have known her since the middle 1970s, but have just recently reconnected since she has moved to southern Washington. She is also an outdoors person and we went birding at some places not too far from her home. It was really nice to see and visit with her in person. As though all the years in-between hadn't happened. We also made two Ridgefield trips. The middle of the month we got another fairly nice day and went to Ridgefield, our favorite winter birding place. Saw the great horned owl. They are so hard to spot. Look like a big blob in the trees. Got some pictures that aren't too bad. Also saw a bittern and several juvenile bald eagles. Got a picture of a harrier flying with a snake in her claws. Took a series of pictures of a little green-winged teal duck bathing or playing in the water. It was so funny to watch him. We made a trip to Fern Hill Wetlands with Janine. It is a bit more distant and we don't go there very often. Was a beautiful day in a dreary month! We hiked about three miles and saw a Great Blue Heron rookery tree. Was amazing. Didn't see any different birds, but we had a wonderful day. Kenny called and he is in very poor health with lots of issues. I do worry about him. Our great-grand daughter Liliana performed a singing solo for her school. I hope she continues with it. She has a very nice voice. She comes by her singing naturally. Her GGgrandmother and all her siblings could sing. Aunt Sissy, the eldest, performed the singing role of Ramona in the Ramona Pageant in 1934. I could sing and so can her Great-aunt Janine. Janine has been after us for years now to go to Hawaii with her. She has a condo on the Big Island and goes every November. So we made airline reservations to go this year. We have a friend who lives there that we haven't seen in well over 30 years. Will be nice to see her again. Had an echo cardiogram done the other day in the ongoing testing to find if I have problem with my heart since I have had some fast pulse episodes. Test results came back and all is good and normal. Have been watching the Big Bear Eagle Cam. Today is the start of the 'pip watch,' the first day the little eagles could start pipping, i.e. breaking holes in the shell. Will be exciting to see. Big storm blowing in, but we are not suppose to be bad and neither is Big Bear. Between about Salem and the southern end of the Sierras is another story, up to 10 feet of snow in places. Big Bear may get 2-3 inches this weekend. We may get a dusting that doesn't stick. They keep predicting and it keeps not happening.
  4. This is so pretty! Love the embroidery border. Will need to check that out.
  5. Here is my aqua, more green than blue. Green-winged Teal

It can be fresh, brackish or salt water. They build nests in trees near permanent bodies of water. Great Blue Herons often build their nests in close proximity to each other in areas called rookeries or heronies. The above rookery picture shows nine herons and three nests.

A fully grown adult will stand about four feet tall and have a wing span of six feet. The top of the head and the throat are white and the beak is yellow. Tle legs are greenish in color. They fly with their necks folded into an ess shape and stretch their legs out behind them. Breeding adults have long, dark plumes on the head, neck and back. Herons are one of the most widespread wading birds in the Western Hemisphere. In many coastal areas of the U.S. and Canada they are year-round residents.
  10. How well I remember the switch. Cutting it and then having to sit in public view, ie front steps, and peel it. The whole world knew you had been naughty! Worse than the switch against my bottom.

    Lynne's Paintings

    Learning how to digital watercolor. These are my efforts.
  12. Thank you all. I can't take credit for the page. It is a sketchbook designed by Kris Lauren, ie Pretty Little Lines and is part of the lesson. The fish on the right is the only thing I contributed.
  13. Use both the techniques above. I use to stress about getting the letters all the same size. But, I have learned that the small differences in size and alignment makes the word more interesting. After all when we write we don't make the letters all the same. I sometimes like to make the letters obviously different sizes and orientations.
  14. Love your background papers! I love that kit. What an interesing bread. I would never have guessed what it was.
  15. Here's a page for Feb. Preface
