Sing me a little Song!

All day long!

This Rufous-sided Towhee was singing his little heart out when I saw him on my last hike on the Florida Trails. 

This bird usually stays on the ground, under the thick brush which makes it impossible to get any photos!

But on this particular morning, he was on a branch singing for all he was worth! 

I have 2 short videos to share.

I hope you have a chance to listen to them. It might help you identify one when you take a walk!

And I'm joining the Dreaming Zebra Foundation this month to celebrate World Watercolor Month.

This is one of the first bird watercolors I did.

Happy Independence Day!!!

I am thankful for so many blessings today!

It's a privilege to live in this country and I appreciate the sacrifices so many have made through the years to keep us free!

I hope you are all having a beautiful day! We have hot temps here in Florida but the little pop up afternoon showers help quite a bit!

I'm still doing a little art every day. I sketch in my journal and do some watercolors too. 

I painted this little scene just for fun...

and then took it to a photo editing site to add text.

My girlfriend Jeanie at the Marmelade Gypsy did a fun post HERE to let us know that, "July is World Watercolor Month -- a worldwide event featuring the ultimate challenge of 31 Watercolors in 31 Days! The idea is to paint every day (or as many as you can) and post your work on various platforms to bring awareness for arts education to get art supplies for kids who need them via The Dreaming Zebra Foundation."

Would you like to take part too? 

It would be a fun time to try watercolors!

 God Bless America!
