Art in Pilar's Garden

This much~loved art event is a must

at the beginning of summer

to enjoy Pilar's amazing garden and to support our

 local artist community .

 Pilar Pobil was born in Mallorca, Spain

and she is an amazing artist,

her world is enchanted by color and beauty.

 Every corner of her home tells a story through her paintings.

 As we walked through her home and gardens her work is display in a beautiful way. 

 We had a lovely evening

and happy that Krystel decide to attend with us.

Did I mentioned how cool is the fact

 that I share my name with such an amazing artist..

Happy Father's Day..

So blessed with David's gardening skills .

 Love how he creates a little secluded paradise for us in our backyard.

Last Saturday we had dinner outside next to our waterfall and it was just perfect.

Flowers are just now starting to grow ,

 we also planted a small herb garden and a few tomato plants...nothing big,

mostly for color and taste..

This year we bought new patio lights, a great find at Target, they look amazing at night...

I took these pics with our Nikon at 6 am,

 my favorite light of the day for pictures...

just enjoying beauty...

A trip to Idaho.

I took a quick trip to Idaho to spend a couple of days with my friend Angie.

 The 4 hour drive was a slide show of  beautiful  land ...

So green with the recent rains

seems that it goes on forever,

 which I could stop at every farm and just get pics of the horses and farm houses, love to drive by and imagine how people spend their lives surrounded in such beauty. 

I did not have my Nikon with me,

but I manage to capture the splendor.
