This is a redbud on our front lawn, one of my favorite spring flowering trees. Blackberry pic, again, this morning on way to the train.

Not much time for digital.art these days - I am working late many nights and have other pressing matters....alas.

Blackberry photograph taken walking from home to train station. Little time.out.

Bird photography is difficiult - this photographer is amazing....I stumbled on it tryiong to identify a bird that my blog friend Jean Levert Hood had at her feeder. I cannot tell but am guessing the bird is a house finch.

The size of the picture is too small to get many details, other than size, behavior, and shape.

"sim.pler"

For Neda, who recently shut down her blog. She had a list of blogs and many of those who visit I met directly through her art, her poetry and her graciousness. Detail below, a small bouquet sent to Austin.

A simple study or a rushed day....my best.

"pine.lands"

One of my favorite parts of The Everglades is The Pinelands near the park entrance. A few feet above sea level, the area is drier and has pine groves as well as a lot of scrub and undergrowth including palmetto palms. I have seen eastern bluebirds and many species of warblers there. My first barred owl was up in a high old pine, sleeping. Marie and I have come back at night and heard whippoorwills calling.

This, again, sampled mostly from Eduard - Dutch in origin, still there is a hint of a Japanese rhododendron blossom towards the left hand side.

I have not been to Florida for a couple of years.
