– April new watercolor month challenge:  Spring Things

Today’s word prompt for the monthly challenge at doodlewash  is  “Hummingbird”.

I see beautiful hummingbirds green color with red head, I see them daily flying around the backyard and posing on flowers and tree’s  branches! They are so tiny like two inches and they fly super fast! They make a very cute sound. Today my painting portrays a colorful hummingbird. I made this painting without my usual ink outlines but just watercolor. Today is also #DrawABirdDay I think that in our #worldwatercolorgroup we still celebrating this each 8th of the month, if we still do my Hummingbird join that event too. ❤

Details about my watercolors:
 watercolors usually are outlined with black and white ink pens. I used  French Artists Watercolors  Sennelier  l’Aguarelle,  Ink pens used  Pigma Micron Black ink #02 and a black ink…

FRIENDSHIP

Wendell A. Brown's avatarWhere Words Daily Come Alive.com

When a day might seem cold and gloomy
When the sunshine won’t come our way
Many smiles shine through a sullen gray
Bringing lovely new blessings into our day

It’s great to feel the touch of a spirits love
As it comes to us in many different ways
There is nothing as wonderful as a happiness
Whose pure radiance lasts throughout the day

What might be more valuable in our daily lives
Then the kindness of our very special friends
Who elect to share time from their busy days
Sharing a piece of their heart from deep within

There is no value that can ever be placed upon
A spiritual treasure so rare and exquisite
As the time a friend lets you know they care
With a wonderful moment dressed within a visit

And a day is never left quite the same again
As their genuine hugs and smiles make…

Pencil Sketch and Photo – Hong Kong

I like doing pencil sketches when I was a kid. I even ventured into drawing with charcoal pencils. It would take me hours but I could be totally engrossed in it. Even in my retirement, I no longer …

Destiny

In order to live freely
as we are destined to live
we must completely
let go the past
that hovers like a
demented ghost
and only then we are free
in ways we never
before dreamed

Living where I live in WNY means that many a day is overcast.  That means, in turn, a perfect day for a photographer to shoot.  In order for me to obtain the effect I have come to prefer in my photography, I need cloud cover.

Can you imagine what it has been like for me this year, that nary a day has seen cloud cover with day after day of bright sunny skies?  I’ve actually found myself groaning out loud some mornings when I opened my drapes and saw another sunny day.  The day I shot this, the skies were filled with patchy clouds which made my excitement soar…

ORCAS LOOKING UP: Weekly Photo Challenge

Tina Schell's avatarTravels and Trifles

“Keep looking up..that’s the secret of life…”

Peanuts (Charles Schulz)

LOOKING UP LOOKING UP

This week rather than doing my own “looking up” I’ve chosen to feature some amazing orca gymnastics in which the subjects, truly amazing creatures, are actually doing the looking. In my opening capture we see a large orca (which can weigh up to 9 tons and be up to 32 ft long) doing a backstroke as his fellow pod-member swims along beside.

“When everything has gone down, God wants you to look up”

Richmond Akhigbe

While our weather in Victoria wasn’t the best, we decided to don the huge jackets, wool hats, fleece gloves and waterproof pants offered by our whale-watching charter and brave the wet cold to seek orcas.  After a freezing, drizzly speedboat ride that lasted 90 minutes we were rewarded with an incredible show provided by a very cooperative pod…
