Seeing the wonderful glow the sunlight was creating with one flower was breath taking. With the camera placed below the flower, the glow in the yellow daffodil was captured.

One rock in a photo does not give you the size. Only when it is among other rocks can you tell the size, bigger or smaller (scale). By putting one small rock in the foreground, the rocks are shown to be larger. Using smaller rocks in the background gives perspective. Nothing is added to the painting to tell you how big the rocks really are. That is for the viewer to decide. Are the rocks in the background small or large. Only when the painting is finished, if there is something to give the viewer something familiar can they decide the size of the rocks.

This is only a small sample of the areas they learn to rescue people

A shadow can tell you a lot. Time of day is just one thing. When you are drawing the plant it can give you an idea of the structure of the plant.

A path can be trod upon by many things. They leave behind a clue to who or what was there. Do these clues stay forever? No, they are disturbed by the wind, the rain, and the next thing to cross their path. How many different tracks can you find?

There is magic when you visit a place you spent time as a child. The park has changed but the feeling is the same. There are lots of places to sit or gather to eat your food. It is a nice park, I don’t know why I don’t go to Rocky Nook Park more often.

Nothing is more fun than miniature pieces. The items were set on an 8 1/2 by 6 1/2 inch cutting board. Knowing this, is the only clue to give you the tiny size of these pieces.
