SEARCHING FOR SPRING, PART 5: Red Rock Canyon State Park (CA)

Patti Ross's avatarLearn More Every Day

My Spring 2017 search for wildflowers drew me to California’s Red Rock Canyon State Park a couple of times.  I was hoping for a repeat of the glorious display of Desert Dandelions I had seen back in Spring 2015.  Alas, that was the not the case.

But there were flowers to augment the iconic iron-laden sandstone that welcomes visitors to the state park.  It was a relaxing afternoon—and I might go back again later this spring to see what else might be in bloom.

The iconic cliffs and buttes have been used in many movies and television shows over the years, including Buck Rogers (TV series), The Big Country, The Outlaw, Jurassic Park and 40 Guns to Apache Pass (Audie Murphy’s last film).  For size comparison, the “little” mushroom like formation is 25 feet tall.

Throughout the grounds of Red Rock Canyon, various spring blossoms were evident.  No one…

Ebor and the Waterfall Way

Angelic Peace in Nature

Itching for Hitching's avataritchingforhitching

Continuing our drive along the Waterfall Way:

We drive on to the hamlet of Ebor about another half hour away and a gentle uphill climb most of the way. We can feel that we are on the top of the Great Dividing Range now. The views over the dairy farms are idyllic. Ebor is tiny, just a few houses, a pub, a cafe and an old servo but hidden behind the town the Guy Fawkes River plunges 115 metres in two drops to the canyon below. The falls are mesmerising and the path along the canyon rim is a great bush walk. There are people abseiling off the canyon walls and a friendly little kookaburra lets us photograph him.

FEEL THE LOVE

I’M THE KING OF THE WORLD

This line is spoken by Jack Dawson, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, in the film Titanic, directed by James Cameron (1997).

On the prow of the Titanic, third-class (and therefore destined to die) passenger Jack Dawson experiences one of the best moments of his life (at least until he gets to smooch Kate Winslet).

In a fit of ecstasy, he shouts “I’m the king of the world!” giving Titanic, a small independent film you may have seen, the catchphrase it so desperately needed.

– February Adventure:  Natural Beauty!

tomorrow is last day of Charlie’s  February Adventure and challenge, this month I only have joined few days because I have been working on commissions. Today prompt list says  “FEATHERS”  and I am going to join   doodlewash  

I love feathers their lightness and their beautiful colors that distinguish the beauty of birds. A feather inspire in so many ways not just for a painting and illustrations often are beautiful subjects for photography or poetry. I like to collect feathers that I find lost in nature, there is always something special about them.

– 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. ❤

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…
