Lois: What's it like in California?
LoisRichter:
I find nature endlessly interesting and often inspiring. Since I like to do art (mostly messing around with photos on my computer), I once tried putting together images of our region (including a train trip over to San Francisco) and came up with several ... things. Here are three.
LoisRichter:
Doing art is one of my pleasures, although I haven't done much recently because I've been busy with my Mom (96) who moved back to California after losing much of her sight to macular degeneration in 2009. Mostly I did photography. I have enjoyed participating in our local Yolo County Fair for the past 10 years; and in 2010 was honored to be the "Featured Artist" there -- my 15 minutes of fame! (Picture 1 shows my display there/then. The background includes a tiny portion of the giant building housing the Fair's photo & art exhibits.)
Sometimes I also paint or do other kinds of art. Recently I went to a demonstration of "tissue paper collage" and thoroughly enjoyed it. (Picture 2 is my first attempt. I REALLY like this technique! Maybe I'll do more.)
And I go birding whenever we travel. (Picture 3 is me in Hawaii at Kilauea Lighthouse.)
LoisRichter:
That's all for now. I'll add more in a few days. Thanks for visiting!
PS: I wonder what's it like where YOU live. How about starting your own thread on the Member's Board?
Anthony Darby:
What a lovely garden. 8) Keep posting. This is fascinating.
Tim Ingram:
I must admit that I have become fascinated by the flowers of California and am slowly learning more about them - but perhaps I should be fascinated by Californian gardeners too! Intriguing images.
