Lovely

What a beautiful, peaceful sky we had Sunday evening.

Artist at work

Here she is, busily painting:

(Love that shiny hair and those curls!)

Whoever invented the special paper that turns color when painted with plain water was a genius! None of the mess of using real paint. Nothing but a little wetness to clean up. But you still end up with a pretty picture!

Of course, once it dries, the color is gone. But then you get the fun of doing it all over again... time after time after time! WOOHOO!

Okay, maybe it's not the most 'creative' thing for a child to do. But Grandma has plans to dig out the real paints and give her a go at those someday, too... like some rainy day or this winter when we're confined to the house... and Grandma feels like supervising a little closer. ;-)

Tough flying today

It's very windy today. I happened to see this hawk trying to do a little hunting. It seemed pretty hard trying to soar "with wings as eagles" against that wind!

For a while there were two of them, but it was nearly impossible to get both of them in the camera viewer at the same time. Here's a very brief shot.

Almost a mid-air collision there! :)

(At least they're not leaving me any "treats", Becky! ;) )

When kitties don't cooperate

What's the difference?

Muskmelons or cantaloupe?

Anyway, they will very soon be ripe, and I can't wait!
