I have a love-hate relationship with waterbrushes. I have been using a set from #Derwent that work pretty well. I was really exited to se that Jerry’s Artarama has these faux kolinski water brushes for sale and and looking forward to trying them out

We had to say goodbye to our little chihuahua this week. She was suffering from kidney failure. We will miss her terribly. Thanks for 14 years of happiness

Watercolor line and wash sketches of pin oak leaves and acorns. The leaves are medium green when they are young and a light tan in the fall as they fall to the ground. The acorns are small and more globe-like than other acorns. They are green when unripe.

Back to work on Monday! The weekends are never long enough anymore. 😂

This is a photograph of a round loaf of sourdough bread. It is a light tan in color and is sitting on a cooling rack on a black granite countertop.

Cindy Lou came through again. She’s been sleeping for a few weeks now but I woke her up yesterday and got her into a batch of no-knead sourdough. It’s a little pale but that’s ok 😂 I cooked it in a Dutch oven but had lined it with parchment paper, hence the pale color #sourdough #nokneadbread

Tithonia flowers. These are a bright dark orange on tall bushy plants. There were several bumblebees feeding on the pollen. Tithonia is also called Mexican sunflower.

This tithonia was full of bumblebees this evening

Next spring, consider treating your lawn with milky spore to kill the beetle grubs before they have time to mature. Of course, this won’t help with beetles that fly in from neighboring properties, but it still may help.

I’ve also had good luck with the traps. I hung them at the edge of my property away from the garden and so far, they’ve kept the beetles away from the ornamental plants. Your level of success might vary depending on how large your protperty is.

Thanks!

Good morning! It’s breakfast time. #hummingbird

Ruby Throated Hummingbird (male) - it only took a few minutes for him to find the new feeder #birdfy #hummingbird

Definitely!

"An Atlantic puffin on Maine's on Eastern Egg Rock appears to imitate a decoy on July 9 by standing on one leg. Decoys were used to lure the gregarious birds ashore after they were re-introduced to the island following a 100-year absence." CREDIT: Robert F. Bukaty

Puffins are social, so to attract them to Maine's rocky islands, National Audubon's Seabird Restoration Program put out decoys to attract real birds.

This puffin is trying to fit in with his new friend by standing on one leg.

Seabird peer-pressure can be intense.

My first Bluesky post! I create fashion and art, so that’s what you’re most likely to see here. Let’s start with one of my most recent, which combines #zentangle, #artdeco and #artnouveau (3 of my current faves).
