Returning...
Lovely pelargoniums on the patio.
Life is returning to a more normal pace now, so I hope to start posting daily photos again!

Returning to the annual projects...
I'm back, though most likely sporadically over the next month while some very big changes take place in my life.
This past weekend, the very warm weather brought out the apple blossoms. The air has been heady with their scent! It's got to be one of my most favorite springtime smells.
On Monday, the weather turned cool and windy and the ground was covered with petals like snow.
Today, we had real snow.
I was surprised to see that the lilacs were already trying to bloom ~ over a month early! Hoping they don't get frozen by the snow and cold temps that are expected tonight. But we are glad to have the moisture here in Colorado where it has been exceptionally dry this late winter/early spring.

2/18/2012 ~ Watercolor A Week
Watercolor sketch of the view from my windows. No snow on this mid-February day.
Another watercolor sketch ~ this one of the fading tulips from last week. I'd love to take a class in botanical illustration as my skills at painting flowers could use some improvement!

Paperwhite blooms. Love the hope that Spring will come that they bring on a cold day.

I've been watching this bud of paperwhites preparing to bloom the last couple of days! Photo taken a day late as I woke too late for good light yesterday.

Taking me a bit longer to get going on doing regular watercolors. Need more practice!
