"Birds of Paradise"



From "a not too far from home"
 sunny and summer-like Linnyland painting adventure,
ON THE LAST DAY OF FEBRUARY!

(Normally, on Southern Vancouver Island, 
the Field Chamomile bloom from around May to August but 
on this late afternoon February paint the world looked and felt 
just like a summer evening.) 


And, for all of my eastern friends; 
on the island (at present) it's a rainy evening in paradise.

  1. you folks have been having some great weather out there! on this first day of spring in Ontario it's still looking pretty wintery! When Dave retires(~5 years) we are going to move to Victoria. each winter confirms this for me:)

  2. This is beautiful Linny. We did not get any February thaw, but it's beautiful here in Toronto now. I sympathize with my friends out east -- still deep, deep in winter.

    XOXOXOXOXO Barbara
