Nature’s Art #11.

Frost covered pine trees

Hi everyone!  I hope you are enjoying your Monday and that it’s not too much of a mad rush for you with Christmas only 2 days away.  It can get that way sometimes, but hopefully you will be able to find some time to relax and just enjoy yourself a bit today.  Muffin and I are just relaxing.  But then, that’s mostly what we have been doing the last 12 weeks, so no change there.  At least I can play with Muffin more now and she certainly enjoys that.  She was really missing our usual playtime.  So was I.  It’s nice to sit here and enjoy my morning coffee and chat just a bit.

And, of course, share a few more pics of art in nature…

Sometimes simple can be very nice.  A little grouping of small fern leaves, white pine cone, moss, and pine needles caught my attention one day.IMG_8725

This is the base of a white pine tree about 40 inches (1 meter) across.  A small cavity, different kinds of moss and the ever present pine needles make for an interesting scene.

That’s our pick of pics for today’s art in nature.  I hope you have time to slow down a bit and enjoy all the beauty around you.  It’s not even necessary to go outside to find it either.  Have a Happy Monday everyone and God bless!

Daily Pics #42.

Happy Monday everyone!  It’s a bit cooler this morning but still not a bad day for December.  However, I will admit I prefer not seeing that minus sign in front of those temperatures.  It was nice yesterday though, even if the sun was hiding behind clouds for much of the day.  The snow on my deck was actually melting a bit however, so that was certainly nice to see.  Even if it was short lived.  Sigh.  Even Muffin enjoyed spending more time looking out the window yesterday.  There wasn’t any more bird activity than normal, but the squirrel was more active, and Muffin likes watching the squirrel.  She prefers the chipmunks, but when they are not around then squirrels will do nicely.

But now it’s time to look at our pics for the day…

And we will continue with more of my vacation pics and some more beautiful orchids.IMG_4344

I really like these orchids and the ones at the back.  Unfortunately there was no way to get a decent pic of the back ones.  I tried leaning over to get them but the picture didn’t turn out at all.  So sad, they were lovely orchids.

And there we have today’s flowers for your enjoyment.  I hope you have a wonderful day and God bless!
