Now that the snow has melted I can see some green. Sometimes green is good:) Yesterday, I visited my girlfriends flower shop and couldn't resist the stock,at least I think that's the name of the flower. It blooms for a long time and has a great scent. I thought I would paint them but they look kinda complicated. Anyway, today is Saturday and I think I'll set time aside to paint. There is a light dusting of snow this morning ,quite beautiful. I love the photos, the black and white especially. I didn't realize Beech trees held their leaves in the winter? Have a peaceful weekend:)cathyswatercolorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318863061595720021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-79474851184210471602009-02-14T08:34:00.000-05:002009-02-14T08:34:00.000-05:00Very beautiful, all...Very beautiful, all...Gwen Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13410235558740636534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-83292875722141713572009-02-14T07:04:00.000-05:002009-02-14T07:04:00.000-05:00Babs, oh that's too bad about the lens.
