Georgetown, Texas celebrates spring with the Red Poppy Festival. This year it is April 28th and 29th. Many of the lawns in the downtown area are covered with red poppies. A short walk just off of Main Street will delight the eye with a wave of red-orange. More images available for viewing at annethroopart.zenfolio.com.

A friend’s garden had the most beautiful red Swiss Chard I have ever seen. I couldn’t resist playing around.

Current Project, Death Dance

I’ve noticed when tulips are past their prime and are beginning to die they perform a ballet like dance. The dance goes on for days and it is quite beautiful. More images are available for viewing at annethroopart.zenfolio.com

Mariposa Ducks

For the past three months I’ve been a witness to a great duck migration. The small pond just yards from my patio has provided a resting place for flocks of ducks ( and a few birds). Being from the northeast I knew a Mallard, Snow Geese and Canada Geese. I had a lot of fun identifying Ring-necked, American Wigeon, Gadwall, Redhead, and Canvasback ducks. And there was 1 Coot who thought he was a duck. He came with a flock of ducks, stayed for weeks and then left with a flock of ducks. The one and only Coot.

Although it is difficult to fully appreciate the look and texture of the Grasses on Amate without seeing them in person, I’ve provided 2 close-ups. This gives you a better idea of the richness of texture and the warmth of tone.
