beauty abounds

Please enjoy some pictures of winter here in the lakeside studio.

Douglas fir cones near my entryway

My variegated geranium in festive Christmas red (indoors of course).

Echevaria symetry--with that fine, red outline.

Haven't framed much in years, but just completed framing this print purchased by friends years ago.

Grandma's Christmas cactus faithfully blooming right in season

Merganzers just above a snow topped deck railing (out of focus foreground).

I repurposed Grandma's old suet birdfeeder into a succulent planter.

a bit of nautical decor

Sparkling lights at sunset

Getting douglas fir tree forms correct for a commission in silk.

Christmas Rose - "Jacob" blooms right through frost and snow.

This is a may flower blooming indoors at Christmas. Festive.
