Really mean swan daddy

Jack anxiously awaiting the command to cross the street.

We are headed to a near by park. It isn't his favorite but it will do.

Frisbee is the order of the day.

Jack has spotted trouble.

It's a really mean swan daddy. His family is nesting on the otherside of the pond.

We are gracious enough to stay on the opposite side but it doesn't seem to satisfy the really mean swan daddy. He just puffs up and is successful in making jack leave his bath.
Meanwhile back at the ranch rekel is perched on my new quilt. He looks rather comfortable and since he has been brushed thoroughly, I did not see the need disturb him.

Just a pretty tree in bloom in a near by garden.

Moet je?

Was that really necessary?

Spring hopes eternal

On saturday I attended a play by the Wereld kinder Theatre. I painted the symbols on the costumes.

I received these lovely roses for my efforts. They smell wonderful.


This is what is happening in my neighborhood...

... my very tiny garden

...with Jack and the neighbor's dog who just happens to be called Jackie.

Jack was thirsty after his walk in the Amsterdamse bos.

Very thirsty

Southbeach Sneezer

White Daffodil

Jack was fairly tired and rather hot after a round of catch. Here he comtemplates his next move.

This was his next move. Jack doesn't ease into the water, he jumps right in and usually makes a big splash.

His swimming is less manic once he has ball in tow.

Releasing any excess water weight before starting the entire process over again and again infinity...

In a small garden behind my atelier grows a white daffodil, I have never seen one before. It is stunning in my most humble opinion.

Gratuitous Sneezer

Stone Du Jour is raw Azurite. This stone guides psychic and intuitive development. It brings clear understanding, new perspective and mind expansion. Clears stress, worry, sadness and grief.

It helps to heal just about everything of the body from throat to a developing embryo. The green stone around the Azurite is malachite, enhancing all of the above attributes and helps muscle cramps too! It's a lovely stone. I guess I should start meditating with it. Im up to half an hour a day. That's truely miraculous for me.

Fixer upper

This is the old building behind my atelier that has been burnt out since I moved here, they are finally getting around to fixing it up. Im very excited to see the end result. Maybe it can be mine when they are done?!
