Tiny Orange Blossoms

Our orange tree just started these tiny blossoms. Can't wait till they open and send out that wonderful orange blossom fragrance.

I stood under the tree and sketched this on tan paper with ink and white ink. Notice the bee I put in because they are also waiting for the buds to open.

The cactus are starting to bloom in Arizona and the colors are so glorious.
I just had to paint this one and I was in a free and easy mood when I did this.
 I like it.

Now I have the inspiration of being in Arizona with cactus. When I saw this arrangement at my neighbors I was hooked and got the paints out just in time for Cactus Monday.

Snow On The Mountains - Teri Casper

We had storms last week that left a few feet of snow on the Catalina Mountains. This was my view from our house as the storm clouds hung over them with that one patch of blue.

The Saguaro cactus stands in front of our house and I think adds a nice touch of perspective.

And it is Cactus Monday!
