Sunflower

I love sunflowers and this time of year they seem to be everywhere;

especially popular in home decor.

Even saw some beauties last week in the floral shop at the local super market.

Roses

Flowers, my passion!

I fell in love with this painting, Roses, by Joseph DeCamp (1858-1923)

and immediately knew I had to use it for a desktop.

The rose image has been misted, put on a new background

and enhanced with a reflection of the roses.

I hope you like Joseph DeCamp's Roses as much as I.

Hummingbirds

The Hummingbirds are returning to our area;

the males are back and I expect the females to arrive any day.

That's when the feeders will get busy.

I'm using a painting by Martin Johnson Heade (1819-1904) which is public domain.

I used a tutorial by our Chris which you can find here

Thank you, Chris, for such a great tutorial!

I hope you enjoy the hummingbirds as they arrive in your neighborhood.

African Daisy

I've chosen an African Daisy tube by Fredo's Design for my new desktop;

the original picture is in the public domain.

I love flowers and the colors and shape of this bloom fascinate me.

Orchid and Hummingbird

Decided I needed something to remind me of Spring; our weather has been so

dreary with clouds and rain the past weeks.

The image of the Orchid and the Hummingbird is from a painting by

Martin Johnson Heade (1819-1904) and in the public domain.

Belted Kingfisher

I saw one of these delightful birds the other day and had to do a desktop in honor of the sighting.

I love these little birds as they sit above the water waiting for a tasty morsel

to make them dive for their meal.

Colonial Traveler

I've been giving a lot of thought lately to our forefathers who molded our country to

provide all United States citizens with Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Very noble ideas that have always worked; maybe not perfectly but they worked.

I had this public domain painting Goodby by George Kilburn Goodwin (1839-1924)

which seemed perfect for my thoughts.
