I wander around in nature, draw what I see and write about all sorts of things.

Waiting for spring...

If you live in an area that gets an early spring....I have to admit I'm a little jealous. Here in New England we sometimes don't even get spring, especially if you live in an area close to the sea like I do...

It is true that living by the sea keeps us cooler in the summer and warmer into the fall and winter but that cold ocean water delays our spring here as well.

After a week of milder temperatures and mornings full of tentative birdsong...we woke to snow and sleet and drizzle over the last few days so I thought I'd post this cheerful robin as a reminder that spring will arrive...

It's time to paint outside once again!
