Birds!

My mom has such an amazing collection of metal, stone, and ceramic birds. They perch on her kitchen windowsill and bring so much color and life to the space. Not to mention you can't help but feel happy just looking at these little cuties!

Peacock

There are peacocks walking around at the Milwaukee Zoo. For some reason it is always quite alarming to be eating a picnic lunch and see a peacock walk by. Even more surprising is their call--loud and obnoxious, but sure to get a huge laugh out of me every time.

Watercolor Whisper

I'm having so much fun painting watercolors. I first tried painting with them in... 2004?? You wouldn't believe the photos I used as reference for these first ever painting attempts. One was a mountain I had hiked with my dad in California, including rocks and a creek in the foreground. Another was a sunset behind a lake with a large tree silhouette. Both on 11x14 paper--poor me!
