After church today, the loveliness beckoned, so I grabbed my much-neglected nature journaling set and parked myself in the backyard to observe our late-summer flowers. Several last-minute stragglers still flourished and I had to capture their colors. I'm learning to work with watercolor pencils and need a lot more practice...but it was satisfying nevertheless to sit still and really observe the incredible artistry of our God. Have you ever noticed that every flower He made is perfect??

A Sunday afternoon
We've had a spectacular shot of fall this weekend...much cooler, crisp clean air, the stillness that breathes rest into your very bones. I don't think we're done with summer yet, but it's sure been a treat.

Oh, you are quite the artist! I too enjoy drawing. It's the motivation that seems to be lacking though, LOL!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind compliments on my photo at my blog.

I am sorry that I did not include the No Poo info in my post, silly me! I have changed that. And here is a link that I found when I first decided to try this. She has a much better explanation.

Your drawings are beautiful! I can't draw anything! I was not blessed with such lovely talents.
ReplyDeleteYes, summer is drawing to a close slowly but surely. I have noticed that it's starting to get darker sooner, which is an indication to me that summer is on its way out. I'm looking forward to the Autumn season.
