I loved this story as well! Lovely!

Don’t they? It is a travesty that some are disappearing like the bobolink! 😢. But yes fills one’s heart to hear them sing! 🥰

Lovely!

Thank you! 😊

#kidlitartpostcard day! Chipping Sparrow among Jack in the Pulpit plants

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I love birds and as the bird population is declining, I am sharing a chipping sparrow. Bring on the birds and bring on spring! #kidlitart #kidlit #illustration #birds

This is my sister’s newest painting. I wanted to share it as I think it is just lovely!

Beautiful Trish! ❤️

🥰

Thanks!

#Westernmonarchday raising awareness for monarch butterflies

Celebrating Western Monarch Day. I have posted this piece before but I think it's important to post again. Monarchs are on the decline and are slowly disappearing. Their population have dropped over 95 percent since the 1980's. #Westernmonarchday #butterflies #awareness #monarch #painting

Lovely!

Thank you. It certainly is and
and was. I have had many wonderful skiis through those woods 🌲

Breaking trail out the back 400

To celebrate World Snow Day, I'm sharing a pic of my favorite haunts out the back 400 where I used to ski #Worldsnowday #Winter #ski #nature #quiet

I'm reposting a painting my sister just did of a Gnome Christmas. It's got that lovely Christmas feeling she captured. Christmas is a tough time for me, it was sabotaged every year by a disturbed parent who couldn't parent. But this is lovely. Thanks Trish ♥️

So cute!

Thank you! I had fun that day capturing some of the song birds I saw. It was a great day.

Song sparrow among the trees

I found this photo I took as I was looking for my next inspiration for a painting. This little song sparrow was hidden away in the trees as I was out walking along Stoneleigh Road. #songsparrow #birds #nature

🥰Thanks Trish ❤️
