Ibis?

While out strolling with one of our dogs< I happened to notice a flock of birds. They looked like black Ibis, I always thought Ibis were white, except for the young ones. I will have to check that out.
Continuation of the park that use to be a dump-
The picture was taken at a nearby park, this park, the one that use to be a dump. It has been turned into a beautiful park, with playgrounds, kite flying, a horse corral & trail, model airplane strip, even the people that fly those one seated, little motor, wing thingies that fly strip.

spoiled dog

Spring is here!!!!!! This picture is Jerry and our dog, who is getting a bit spoiled (the dog) Thought we would take her for a walk and give her full attention. Yes this is south Florida, we have a really nice park that use to be a dump.

Jerry calls me a "button pusher" While fooling around with my new purse size camera, it took on a mind of its own=it shot this photo all by itself. Think it's trying to tell me something, like clean up this stuff. The painting on the wall is something I did awhile back, it is called "Moo Cow" the little fish painting I did about a month ago and framed it with a wooden ruler.

Wanted to post a photo on the other blog but the computer has a mind of its own too, go figure.

This weekend Jer is showing some of his stuff at a wine and food thingy in West Palm Beach. Nice part is that it's going to be inside and we will probably use only the pedestals. :) Of course it has wine and food and that is another plus.

New Camera-testing testing

I love my Sony Cyber-Shot 12x etc. etc. but it is too big for my purse! Went out today and bought a small Sony 7x zoom to carry at all times.
This last weekend we took a trip to Punta Gorda for a car event, took some pictures with my cell phone, not the same.
I took this photo to test out my new camera, one of my self portrait paintings.

Creative

The weather here is going to be rainy and stormy, have to stay inside, so I thought I would set the mood to get creative= good smelling candles, the smell of rain, surrounded by neat stuff, OK, need to create a masterpiece.

The following is one of my favorite poems that really inspires me-

By Javan

WE ARE BORN INTO THE WORLD

LIKE A BLANK CANVAS

& EACH PERSON THAT CROSSES OUR PATH

TAKES UP THE BRUSH

& MAKES HIS MARK UPON OUR SURFACE

SO IT IS THAT WE DEVELOP

BUT WE MUST REALIZE THERE COMES A DAY

THAT WE MUST TAKE UP THE BRUSH

& FINISH THE WORK

FOR ONLY WE CAN DETERMINE

IF WE ARE TO BE

JUST ANOTHER PAINTING

OR A MASTERPIECE.

Imagination!

I wanted to post a better photo of this painting but my computer has a mind of its own,maybe that is for the best.
This painting is called "Eggplant Parmesan" While I was fooling around with a self portrait, I noticed eggplant and a tomato coming out of a shopping bag. Figured I would get out my old dried up paints and paint a little bit each day. I have a new kitchen, ya know, and now it is one of my favorite rooms. (did I just say that)!

Wedding

Jerry and I just celebrated our anniversary last month, lota years. Had the reception in our back yard, a beautiful windy day in February. Jerry was in the service at the time, so had to plan the wedding around him being home.
L-R My brother, father, sister, Jerry, me, Mother, grandmother and my grandfather. Still have the dress, size nothing and the veil I made myself, Corny. The train on the dress was so beautiful that I was wanting to come down the isle backwards. The train was the reason that I bought a short sleeve dress for a Feb. wedding, what was I thinking!!!!!! The day was windy and a bit chilly, I was told.

Flowering Tea

Flowering Tea-My mother always had fresh flowers in the house, I don't know how she did it, I don't remember one day without flowers in the house. Now with the tea balls I can too.

I was reading a blog this morning about what to do with old glass jars, interesting.
