I pulled this illustration over from my Moleskine blog because it seemed fitting for the day. I finally see hundreds of these little guys trying to pop up in the yard. It takes real finesse not to step on any of them because they're everywhere!
So, while I'm trying to come up with an illustration for this week's "IF", I'll post this cheerful piece for now!
I have had many requests to do a new "bag lady." Stay tuned, you never know!
Happy almost Spring!

We haven't lived in this house for too long so imagine my surprise when I looked out the window the other day and saw at least 500 crocuses! At first I wondered what 'all that stuff' was in the yard, thinking somehow that litter of some kind blew in. The yard hasn't seen any love for quite sometime, I'm sure, but on this day it was very special to me. I can't wait to see what else 'pops up!'
As I was taking the shot little Miss Emma spotted a squirrel and began the chase!
I think maybe she was happy about the crocus-fest and she couldn't contain her enthusiasm! Well, she did trample a few of them.
Happy Animal Wednesday!

I thought I'd post another design piece for "Momentum". I guess I like to post abstract pieces for this theme because momentum is truly an abstract concept, and the word conjures up such images in my mind. This painting represents the momentum I feel in September, as summer slips into autumn.

Lolo, it makes me feel like there is really HOPE for Spring!
Love your header of the birds....so tranquil and just plain fine work!
Dreary day here--rain predicted. Have to see if any of the moon photos turned out from the short window of time last night.
XXOO~~♥

Ahh, love those crocus! I once owned a garden full of them, but I've rarely seen one where I live now. The snow on the ground lasts too long, I think, and then when it is finally gone, it is usually far to warm to enjoy the crocus for long.
Happy Almost Spring to you, Lo...we have a snow shower happening, so it might be a while for us!
too early for crocuses here but happy to see yours.
6 inches of snow in the frontyard but the back is clearing - still to wet and cold to tromp around outside to check for signs of life
Well you saw our spring. Its gorgeous, now if it would only quit raining and let us enjoy it. :)
We have NO flowers in Taos yet, way too early, but we do have sunshine :-). Lovely illustration.

No crocuses yet but I do see daffodils in my garden.
Today was lovely. went to the beach and had lunch with Marja. (pictures on FB)

And yes we all want to see a bag lady again.
Hope you are enjoying a wonderful weekend!

Darling little painting. I love crocus but I don't have any in my yard. Maybe later.
"Hocous Pocous Crocous" is delightful.
Such cute words.
How exciting it must be to find hundred such little flowers popping up everywhere you look.
Happy Spring thoughts.
Crocus everywhere,just love them....

What a cheerful hopeful springlike painting lo! i hope the day you can say "SPRING is HERE!" comes very soon!
We are having our first spring storm, and it's a big one, it's been raining hard for over 24 hours. Like a waterfall even. But i could still hear the birds singing. Love that!
You are quite right. This spread is perfect for this time of year. Whoo hoooo...welcome spring.

Once you have crocuses out, the rest will inevitably follow.
I can always tell when spring has sprung. my smiles get larger and more spontaneous. Love the hocus pocus crocous rhyme.
Love it!
