Life is not really for sissy's

I have been a bit low lately and not done a lot of actual crafting, except to make a small Christmas tree ornament. However, Spring is coming in the garden and I have some shots to share:

My tree


Lovely iris

 a low road - new track below the house


the Iris again


Rhodo's are such showoffs.


My bird - from painting class

What beauts there... your ornament is adorable and that water colour is just so pretty. Love the washed background and the bird is so real looking. Some serious talent there. The pics of the flowers are so delicate.

That iris is just so beautiful - a real sign of spring!! Feels strange typing that as we're moving into autumn and much cooler weather! A really sweet Christmas tree and the painting is fab!

That beautiful bearded iris bought back fond spring time memories of my garden when I lived down south. I like the bird you painted too. It looks like he's ready to flit to the next spot.

How lovely - that flower is gorgeous. It's refreshing to see signs of spring, just as we are moving into autumn in the states! You have a real talent with your painting. Thanks for sharing this with us!
