Confession...

I have to tell you, who commented on the beautiful photos of Josie the cat, that my son took those photos.  He is a professional photographer -- I am not, but I come from a family of photographers.  My little Canon PowerShot S120 is what I use. I don't know all the intricacies of it, but it has a nice 10X zoom which helps me take photos of the birds. However I do think all the silver on the front of almost all cameras alerts the birds to our presence.

I do apologize for not replying to all the nice comments I've been getting.  My past-times are beginning to overflow -- photos of birds, shelter cats, son's cats, painting, blogging.  I took three books out of the library two weeks ago and I still have one left to read.  I'd better check when it's due!  I used to read 3-5 books a week in past summers.  Time to reorganize my days I think. I guess it's a good problem to be short on time when you're retired.

 Anyway, here are my last two paintings from Wanda's Art Challenge.  They are both ATC size.  The  butterfly and flower is done in water color and the Bessie the Jersey Cow is in prisma color pencils.

If you like to draw or paint do visit Wanda's ART Challenge.  She's getting ready to post a new one soon.

Now I have to get busy with my entry for ABC Wednesday. Yes I know it's only Friday, but it takes me a while to get my brain buzzing and I'm slower than most on the computer because I never learned to type and I have to proof read everything carefully.
