In the Green

Hi lovely people,


After nearly three months of lock down, it felt lovely to drive to another town, catch the breeze and feel the wind in my hair--sans a convertible.
And O the view. A sight to behold as the earth, once again, clothes herself in the vivid new green of spring.
 

A tanker with places to go.

 Next stop the Iroquois lock.

A lovely old church I happen upon. I adore stone buildings. Such character! I bet the stained glass windows are magnificent. Unfortunately, I couldn't step inside because the churches are still locked down.
Perhaps I will be lucky enough to find it open sometime.

Doors waiting to be opened. 
To me old doors are so inviting and never fail to make me want to turn the handle or lift the latch. What's inside? I have a feeling this church would surprise me.

 

Notice the Solomon's Seal against the stone facade. The only time I've seen it growing outside of the woodlands.

Heady blossoms and sunshine. Perfectly perfect!

When I was sifting through my drawings, I came across a wildflower Bloodroot drawing that I drew about two years ago, so I thought I'd paint it.

They are mostly white but a few are a lovely pink.

The season was short this year for the Bloodroot.  They succumbed rather quickly to a frosty spring. 

For those who may not know, if you cut into the root, a red sap greets you. Hence the name.

Be well and stay safe!

'Til next time...
