  FOTD – May 21 – White Azaleas It is blooming time here in the northeast. From icy rain with a hint of hail just 48 hours ago, the temperature has been on the rise ever since. We have our A/C’s in… Read More ›

• SKETCHBOOK 69 – A BETTER GREAT BLUE HERON

  By Marilyn Armstrong on 05/20/2022 • ( 5 )

  

  It isn’t entirely better, but the head on this great big bird is better than the previous drawing. Great Blue Herons aren’t blue. They are grey which in the world of animals is blue. Don’t ask why. I don’t know…. Read More ›

• BLOOMING IN STRANGE WEATHER

  By Marilyn Armstrong on 05/20/2022 • ( 3 )

  

  FOTD – May 19 – Lilacs and Rhododendrons It was nasty, wet, and in the low 50s today. Saturday it is supposed to hit 100 degrees. It’s hard to believe that given how cold it was today that we will… Read More ›

• SKETCHBOOK 69 – THE GREAT BLUE HERON

  By Marilyn Armstrong on 05/19/2022 • ( 5 )

  I think I’m going to redraw this guy so he looks like he’s standing guard. For one thing, they are really tall — 6 feet tall or more. Of course, their primary interest in life are fish. These great big… Read More ›

• THE RED MOON ECLIPSE

  By Marilyn Armstrong on 05/19/2022 • ( 11 )

  

  I miss all the great moons here because I can never see the sky through the trees — even in the winter when the leaves are gone. The moon’s passage is across the southern part of our sky, exactly where… Read More ›

• GREAT BLUE HERONS

  By Marilyn Armstrong on 05/19/2022 • ( 2 )

  

  Let’s have our beautiful Great Blue Herons take center stage. Many of these amazing birds make their home in this valley. They live in large groups who nest in trees near the rivers where they fish. Great Blue Herons will… Read More ›

• FUN WITH SQUARES AND TRIANGLES

  By Marilyn Armstrong on 05/18/2022 • ( 2 )

  

  CFFC: Squares and/or Triangles It’s easy enough to find squares, but triangles were more of a challenge. I did find a couple, though.

• A LITTLE PEEK AT NORTHFIELD

  By Marilyn Armstrong on 05/18/2022 • ( 17 )

  

  FOTD – May 18 – Spring in Northfield, Minnesota I wish I’d had time to get some pictures of St. Olaf’s campus, but at least we got some pictures of town and the river. A look up and down Main… Read More ›

• THE CONCERT WITH MUSIC

  By Marilyn Armstrong on 05/17/2022 • ( 16 )

  

  Now that I’m home, I redid all these photographs to a reduced size so I don’t eat all my space. This chapel cum concert hall is unique in that it beautifully mimics a Gothic cathedral, yet it’s modern. It has… Read More ›

• HOME AGAIN!

  By Marilyn Armstrong on 05/17/2022 • ( 19 )

  

  SHARE YOUR WORLD 5-16-2022 I know we were only gone for four days, but it seemed longer. Possibly because every day started very early and ended very late with a lot of activity in the middle. It could also be that… Read More ›

• WAITING AT THE GATE

  By Marilyn Armstrong on 05/16/2022 • ( 9 )

  

  And here we are. At Delta gate C5 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The flight is two hours late — so far. Delta has been a mess and not just for us. Pretty much for everyone. Late flights, cancelled flights, broken connecting… Read More ›

• SKETCHBOOK 64 – THREE GOLDFINCH AND A STORY

  By Marilyn Armstrong on 05/16/2022 • ( 14 )

  

  CRAZY SQUIRRELS AND PUSHY DOVES There’s a lot going on in and around our deck. The squirrels are freaking out, the doves are pushing smaller birds out of the way (doves? really?), and I’m pretty sure raccoons and flying squirrels… Read More ›
