Jeanne: Thank You - that's another thing I do - photos - mainly flowers - mainly roses! since I cant' paint them any more I take pics of them. I was so happy that all of them (well almost all) came out so good! I guess after having the camera for a year, I 'm finally figuring it out. lo

I'd love to see the finished result of your painting!
Makin the best of it - oh it would be nice to have some rain here - but 9 straight days of it! I bet it did feel good to be out in the sun! Even pulling weeds would be nice after that much rain! and I would think there would be a bunch!
There is one rose bush that I want to go back to get some pics of - they weren't quite open - they will stop budding by the end of June as it will be tooo hot by then - most of the other ones do ok - but not these particular ones.
