It is freezing here and all my titles seem to long for the spring and the warmth and for sprouting leaves and flowers. Sampled from Lisa's marigold petals - dried and beautiful. Find a link below, if you are not color blind or distracted.

Lisa is even making marigold ink...somewhere.

In a few weeks at most, snow crocuses and then snowdrops. Hope you are well, thanks for visit.ing.

Below, is the image as of last night....

"detail"

Last night's image altered and some slightly new techniques, not to forget and to explore.

Feel confident lately creating, although I need to work with larger image files.

About the name. Cherry Hill is a section in Central Park just adjacent to the row boat lake, a location used in many movies to show New Yorkers in love. Adjacent to this hill is an area of the Park called The Ramble which has undergrowth which attracts birds in migration because there is cover, and that means a better chance of survival.

Cherry Hill is a long gentle slope with lawn and many large, huge shade trees.

Birds go there and it is a delight to be there at sunrise. The links in this paragraph are to New World warblers, small songbirds that pass through Manhattan, some species starting from wintering grounds in the Amazon and headed towards Canada.

Sampled here - a gem photo of a marble on a mat. Lovely blog of a family enjoying the nature and even birding.

There is also some Andrea canvas board sprinkles..... thank you, Andrea,

Worked very late, got home close to midnight. Pulled this out a hat...I am tired.

My best.
