Gorgeous Sunshine



Redbush has been outdoors enjoying the beautiful sun lately, so has been ignoring the computer, and hasn't been doing a lot of blogging. (hasn't been watching any Olympics at all -curling, hockey, curling. downhill, curling, biathalon, curling) Ha! She hopes the sun will last as they have been experiencing a lot of sunshine, and Bonzi has been enjoying his outings on the trails out back. It's feeling more and more like spring although Redbush knows there's a lot of winter that can happen yet. She hopes that spring will come early, and the days will keep staying balmy! Redbush will leave you with a spring photo and painting she did of a spot from the lease. She hopes everyone is having a great week!

It's great to hear from you, Bach. I'm glad you liked it. Bring on spring!

Thanks so much, slommier! I need all the hugs I can get. Spring means more running water, and less snow! It's great to hear from you!

Thanks, She Writes..! I've been interested in this photo to paint since last spring, so, I finally got it done. It's wonderful to hear from you.

You're so kind, Tsannie! I'm glad you liked it.

Redbush said...

Thanks so much, Bag Lady! I'm really glad you like it as you know exactlly where the place is. I couldn't believe that I got a POTW! You have had so many of those, you must be used to it! Have a great rest of the Olympics! Go Canada go!

Oh my...honestly, I gasped when I realized the second scene was a painting. Like most people, I'd glanced at the pictures before reading the text, and had processed both as photographs.

What a stunning life-like painting, and so very beautiful. I really don't know how you do that, but what an immense amount of talent you possess!

It was my privilege to view it, and I thank you for that. I'm a little awe-struck..it's honestly so lovely.

Congratulations on your post of the week mention over at Hilary's!

The reflections on the water capture the eye immediately. (Especially when one is eager to see liquid water.)

Redbush said...

I am honestly humbled by your comments, Land Of Shimp. I love spring here especially because there's a combination of snow melting and green growth trying to pop up. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping!

Redbush said...

Thanks, Mary Anne! I, too, am looking forward to liquid water and permanent sunshine! I could watch water and its reflections all day. It's great that you could stop and view it!

Redbush said...

Thanks so much for your compliments, Deb! I can't say enough about Hilary's kind and generous POTW gift. I enjoy all of her photos and wish I had more of her photographic talents.
