Easter Lily Bud with Clouds

There were several perfect blossoms growing on the plant, but this single bud had broken off. It’s delicate texture, subtle tonal values and soft undeveloped petals seemed to cry out for a visual epitaph. With a little photoshoppery and a cloud image from my library this illustration virtually created itself.

Moonlight on the Tiawassee

Photograph of Tiawassee Creek in the moonlight as it flows through Daphne, AL

This little creek flows through a steep ravine across the road from our house in Daphne, AL. This is a hilly neighborhood with winding roads and several small streams that flow into the upper reaches of Mobile Bay.

Downtown Pensacola; Tuesday Night

Dinner at V. Paul’s Italian restaurant. It was a delightful dining experience. I had an Absolut Cucumber Martini, the best Martini I’ve ever had, Vicki had the Limoncello Thyme Martini, which she declared “delicious.” For the entre’ I had Linguini Alle Vongole with mussels, pretty good but not spectacular; Vicki had Spaghetti & Meatballs. She said it was good, but gave her leftovers to the homeless guy sitting on the sidewalk. We shared a bottle of Reisling with dinner, which made everything blend very nicely.

The restaurant’s soft light, quiet atmosphere and marvelous service made the evening one to remember. Prices were reasonable/moderate. We will be back.
