Well I doubt this is going to work so I just picked this song because it was there on Youtube. Seems like they don’t want us to share on Youtube at the moment so if this doesn’t work I’ll show you what’s up in the garden. I guess they’re having a problem.
Nope, it isn’t working so have a gander at the daffodils and crocuses. Now those flowers can be the object of my desire.
I’m in a teleporting mood, perhaps it is “cabin fever. I’m dreaming of sauntering down the old town in Rhodos and hoping on a bus to Lindos. It was a beautiful day. It’s always a beautiful day in Greece. After about a half hour we arrived and spent the afternoon in this lovely town. On our return, while waiting for the bus, an older gentleman (complete with Fisherman’s hat) approached us. He asked us where we were from – in Greek. We said we were from Canada. He looked into the distance and said “makria” (meaning “far”). 3:33 min.

This is a 12″ x 16″ oil on canvas I started a few weeks ago. I closed the eyes more to focus on the book, worked on the flesh tones and deepened the back ground. I took some of the lower rocking structure from the left side of the chair because it didn’t look right. I find sometimes one can see errors in the technical aspects from a photo. The eye is continually accommodating. The photo reveals that. So the painting at the top is the most recent.
Saw this today and thought I would share it. It’s truly delightful and my birder friends will love it.
Story time so here’s my story and hope you enjoy it. 2:31 min.
I titled this the Lonely Heron but now realize it must be an Egret. (my bad) This is a 12″ x 16″ oil on canvas painted quite awhile ago. With all this isolation most of us can identify with this lovely bird.
Thank you Mountain Energy Yoga this just what we need to bring serenity back to a chaotic world.

Before the restorative sequence, practice progressive muscle relaxation.
Choose a quiet time of day. Lie down on a mat – wearing comfortable, warm clothing – support head with a folded blanket – breathe slowly focusing on your exhale.
Tense the muscles in your feet, shins and calves
Then release these muscles
Tense the muscles in your thighs and buttocks
Then release these muscles
Breathe in deeply and fill your chest and belly to the max that you can
Hold breath briefly
Then exhale fully and feel relaxation
Lift your shoulders up to your ears and tense the muscles in your shoulders
Then release these muscles
Repeat three times in the shoulder area – tensing and releasing
Press the back of your head into the blanket supporting it tensing the neck muscles
Then release these muscles
Gently rock your head from side to side
Yawn
Frown
Smile
Raise your eyebrows
Tense…

Friday is the first full day of spring and I always like to celebrate this equinox with Whip Poor Will Blues. 1:33 min.
This is a 5″ x 7″ oil on canvas board painted in 2020. It’s framed will be sold for $120.00. I posted it today because the 19th of March is the first day of Spring.
I couldn’t resist this. So a special thanks to Jim for sharing this with us.
