A second posting for today as I have the opening for the Legacy of Art Show at Invesco Field tonight and other show activities tomorrow to attend. This is a painting of a bloom on the Thimbleberry bush that grows wild here on the mountain. I have them on my property but this particular bloom was in the forest. Again, from my daily hike. Gotta love those hikes! While I'm out I can't help but chuckle as I think, "Wow, another day at the office!".

I'm not sure what these little yellow flowers are but, you guessed it, I found them up in the forest on my daily hike. There are simply so many different flowers up there. Painting them could keep me busy everyday all summer!

Please check my other listtings as I have other wildflowers posted. Thanks!

The Columbine are in bloom now. I know where there's a large patch of them in the forest where I walk my dogs, so today on our hike I sought them out. I wasn't disappointed! There are probably a hundred of them in various stages of bloom in this one particular spot. I may no longer have my "Walden Pond", but I have a portion of the forest that I watch with the same curiosity and wonder. I watch the march of wildflowers as they bloom at different times during the summer's progression. One can tell the time of year easily without a calendar, if you are aware of the small nuances in nature. What a Godgiven gift!
