I needed to take some time off from my art. I just was not in the mood to create anything. Spending the last couple of months outside. 

My Dad was a huge influence in my gardening and outdoor life and I am seeing him especially this year. I did a lot of planting the first year I lived here and I had yet to really see the results of those initial plantings. This year I noticed.
