Chicken Snacks

Chickens love redbud flowers and will fly up to a branch and pull them off.  True story!   It's hilarious to watch.  I had to try to get it on paper.   I should perhaps still make some adjustments, but this will do for now.

Henbit Blooming #2

This is a second version of the scene I posted a few days ago.   The first was a bit too pink.  I toned down the fields a bit and used cerulean in the sky instead of cobal teal.   I'm still learning how to put different types of texture in a scene.  The sides of the road were my focus here.

Blooming Cherries!

After planting these several years ago, we have been impatiently waiting for them to bloom.   Last year we got three whole flowers on one of our three trees and none on the others.   Last fall I said, 'If they don't bloom in the spring, I'm pulling them out!'  Eric did some research and it turns out that cherries take several years to get settled.

This was the magic year.   Blooms covering all three trees - 2 sweet cherries and 1 sour.   Maybe pie this year?
