Here at place with daughter getting her CT scan before biopsy and they’re playing Kansas β€˜dust in the wind’ and while a great song, it’s not very uplifting considering why we’re here. πŸ˜‚

A day photo of a large,perhaps lenticular cloud formation over a mountain this afternoon.

Interesting cloud formations over Cheyenne Mountain now (12:17pm).

A black and white night photo from my camera trap it shows part of my garden with plants and shrubs dotted around, a raised flower bed just off center and small landscaping rocks in the foreground. A doe mule deer is on the left looking into the area, she has her tongue out just a bit. A raccoon is on the right side of the frame looking at the deer. They are friendly towards each other. I don't get photos like this often so it's a treat when they are both in the garden at the same time (though the plants might argue otherwise).

On occasion the mule deer and raccoons meet up and I get some lovely photos. They're interested in each other then move on.

Windstorm yesterday & today - some snow on way (Sat/Sun) then next week could see 80F by Friday, so possibly a 60degree swing in temps!!!

Thanks, Bob! it was a lot of fun painting them all. I did, actually, try hard to paint them well.

Thank you! I really tried hard to paint them properly but I'm no artist and I found it more challenging than expected. I think the kids (who are adults 😁) will really enjoy them.

Ding-dong! The Dutch Fish Doorbell needs you to help migrating fish A Dutch lock is closed for the spring, and its employees want you to tell them when migrating fish come knocking by ringing a digital doorbell

Very quiet in the garden overnight which gave me time this morning to read this interesting article:

www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...

I didn't spot any fish waiting to pass through the lock but I'll keep watching a bit each day. Also, what a wonderful idea.

It was fun trying to paint them, they’re all such great dogs and all rescues from local humane societies.

🀣Thank you! it's so nice of you to say. I enjoyed painting them but watercolor is not very forgiving and I have a new appreciation for all those who can bend it to their will.

Thanks! I think the kids will enjoy them. They're not on social media so I can show them here without worrying they'll see them before their birthdays.

Thank you! I expect my kids will fall over laughing and that's the result I hope to get. I painted them all with a lot of love and not much detail. Watercolor painting is hard.

Water color paintings of two sets of dogs. It may need to be said that I am not actually 5 years old but a fully functioning adult that just can't paint. I think my kids will enjoy them for years to come.

My previous attempts earlier this week. Perhaps I should also say I'm not taking commissions so don't think about asking 🀣
I found water colors to be very difficult to work with. πŸ˜‚

A color day photo showing the actual dogs belonging to one of my kids. Both are rescues, the one on the right is a foster fail, contrary to her facial expression she is not perpetually worried but a very happy doggo. A water color painting of the two previous dogs. Please bear in mind I have never painted dogs before and likely never will again. A water color painting of my other kiddos doggos. They are actually both Australian cattle dogs, I realize the one on the right looks like it's missing several chromosomes. The actual dogs that I was painting, they are fantastic doggos.

I am not an artist, don't let these paintings fool you.
For family birthdays we all paint together (2 in fam are actual artists) like the paint with a twist places, we have varying results but oh, so much fun.
I decided to paint my kids dogs for their birthday cards this year...
You're welcome.

A quiet night on the Raccoonobahn, a few raccoons and this rather handsome coyote.

This is an interesting read:
