The View From Here: Clouds and Snakes

And I've been working on getting the craft kits for church done early this year. This snake was from one of the lessons that got skipped last year:



It is simply a paper plate cut in the shape of a spiral. I used watercolors to paint it.

Cool Clouds And My Nutty Heart

More of my favorite subject lately: clouds ~









A few early morning hay bales ~

Berries and Skies

Hi all, I took a short break from posting last week so I could enjoy a week off. But I was still busy taking photos and picking wild raspberries (at last). Based on last year's berry post, the berries were a little late this year. But they still taste just as sweet.

The first pickings are usually a little slim, but now there are tons of berries to be had! Yum, yum! Maybe this year I'll finally make some wild raspberry jam!
