Do you remember that nursery rhyme? My mom used to recite it to us at times. Well, the other morning was certainly misty. And in the middle of a nearby field in the mist stood a gigantic bull. You might not be able to get the perspective from this picture, but he dwarfs the 3 cows to the right. Impressive!
September is upon us—have you turned your calendar yet? Though not yet officially autumn, the end of August and beginning of September tell me the leaves will begin changing color soon and we'll start to have crisp, blustery days. My favorite season.
While in the grocery store the other day, I noticed this plant in the flower section and it was labeled "oregano." I had no idea that oregano could look like this! I've thought about drawing various flowering herbs, and I would definitely consider adding this varietal to the line-up.
I had the opportunity to be the photographer on a few family fishing excursions while at the beach recently in North Carolina. This (somewhat) early morning shot was taken on the way to the chosen spot. I don't think the colorful lure fooled any of the fish, but all the fishermen looked as though they were having fun casting that day!
Having grown up in North Carolina, I've been going to the NC beaches for years, and they never cease to amaze me with their simple beauty. The sand is so soft, the sky blue, and the water warm. How lucky I am to have spent a week recently on the coast. So many great photos, but this one captured a white sailboat in the distance, one of the few we saw despite the beautiful weather.
Here's another picture from last year's beach trip. I think this was the day we arrived, and of course the first thing to do is change into swimsuits, grab the boogie boards, and head to the ocean! Boy, that was fun, and we can't wait to do it again this year.
