Floral Friday, Blooming Friday, Todays Flowers and Pink Saturday

The GOOD

These tiny Spring flowers  I found a few weeks ago in our front yard –
aren’t they adorable?  anyone know which  flowers these are
(about 2 -3 inch)?

 

 

 

 

The RANDOM

We didn’t have snow all winter. Then last week, when I
woke up, I see this. Are you kidding?
Pulling an April’s Fools Day on us? (when wet, the trunks
of the Acacia trees become really this red and shiny –
no photo edits!) I have been told that these trees
when burning,  can melt steel!
There’s a Dutch saying that says “April does what he wants”

 

 

 

 

The FUN

On that strange day, I felt cold so I made some wheat pancakes
with bananas and chocolate chips

 

 

 

 

Modified for Mandarin Orange and Texture Twist

 

That’s it! We’re going to try out the stove …  for the first time
in the USA – that’s about 3 decades. The first stove, since
there was No Need for it in Southern Calif.

 

 

 

 

Black & White Wednesday

 

 

 

for Friday Greens & Good Fences

To my relief, the snow didn’t stay.
A virtuous tree, but stubborn!

Angel of Change, Oil, © StGermain   Reflection behind me!

I have a little problem – one that artists have to deal with now.
I saw this painting used as a banner in a newsletter of a
speaker. Having heard her speak myself, I knew she
would not use something that is copyrighted, so I wrote her.
Her reply: It was on FB, from “a friend of a friend”…

A few months after I logged on to Facebook (2011) I realized
that as soon you become a member, whatever you post
is and remains their property, so  I deleted all my paintings
… I thought – if you catch the culprit, please write me -thanks!

 

 

 

Added some pics later this week ….

 

Just to assure you that that sky (sky Watch) is back to peachy keen:)

 

 

 

 

the Huntington Gardens is a great place to find reflections, and ducks and fish
Oops, I cut off the head of the statue….:)

To start with Weekend Reflection  and go on to Saturday Critters – the duck and
little lower to the right a Koy fish.

 

I feel alive when I learn something new every day!
