Tour de Tulips
Can you recall that line in a popular Christmas carol proclaiming 'it's the most wonderful time of the year'?
Well, simply stated, that is how I feel when tulips bloom.
So, my annual tour de tulips is underway and corresponds to several images that I will post of the amazingly beautiful blooms that are gracing the landscape in all sorts of brilliant colors.
It is a feast for the eyes, Stay tuned.

Homage to the Eclipse
A week ago the moon passed between the Sun and Earth and created a total solar eclipse that was visible along a path from Mexico to Canada and included the contiguous United States. What a spectacular and extraordinary event. In these parts of Iowa our view was of a partial eclipse yet nevertheless an amazing occurrence to witness. It was fun, exciting, unique and a great weather day to be outdoors.
The above drawing is one of my originals that honors this extraordinary astrological happening that I loved being able to witness. In the center notice the textured surface of the moon with the sun just behind and illuminated. What continues is a tribute to the timing (spring) of this rare event when the landscape comes to life as the sun's rays intensify and daylight expands.
