For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Nature’s Art, #21.
Hi everyone on this beautiful sunny day! And it is actually getting milder out there today, which is certainly nice. And we are going to get some spring like weather for a few days, before the cold weather returns again. We usually get that teaser in February, though it’s normally earlier in the month. Muffin is enjoying her nap in the sun right now. The birds are busy at the feeder. Mama deer was by a little while ago to say “hi”. I haven’t seen her for awhile so that was nice to have her visit for a bit. She really loves potatoes or just potato peels. I guess it’s a real treat for her this time of the year. It’s getting close. March is almost here. That’s the month we can start looking forward to spring. That doesn’t mean spring will be here in March, but we can start looking for it.
Meantime, let’s take another look at our art in nature pics…
Here is a snowflake that landed on my bench on the deck. I had a hard time getting close with my camera but it turned out not too bad anyway. It’s possible to see a little of it’s beauty.
There is just a special beauty about the moon and I enjoy taking pictures of all it’s different phases. This full moon was back in January and it had a nice yellowish kind of glow to it that night.
Beauty is all around for us to enjoy. I hope you all have a great day and God bless!

Daily Pics 2020…#51.
Good morning everyone! How are you all doing today? It’s a nice morning, still cold though. But it’s supposed to get nicer, warming up quite a bit today. Muffin is excited again this morning, running and almost flying around here once again. Amazing how she can do that right after eating. But that’s nearly always the way it works with her, eat and run! Today I am going to do 3 pics since they all go together. These are not the things people think of when mentioning flowers, but, when you look at them up close, they really are quite pretty. I think so anyway. Most people just consider them weeds that fill up their lawns. And they can be bad for that.
But let’s look at these different clovers anyway…
This first one is a brilliant white of the white clover, very typically found on lawns everywhere.
And here is the pink of the alsike clover, also found on lawns and many other places including down by the river where I walk.
And here is the very pretty red clover still covered with drops of dew on a late summer morning.
Well, not the typical group of flowers like I mentioned earlier, but they still make an interesting group when we take a close look at them. Or maybe it’s just me. But hopefully you enjoyed them anyway. I hope you have a great day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.
