Fine artist Rhonda Counts doesn't want us to miss the "velvet cape" of spring's "prickly pine" -- the bright sea foam color and softness of the evergreen's new growth.
Rhonda's nature-themed artwork is currently on exhibit at Boyertown's Studio B Art Gallery as part of the gallery's "Form & Fiber" show. Her work is known for its texture utilizing items in nature in the development of it.

Rhonda's post turned my attention to the yew in my backyard--sporting its own new growth--soft to the touch in lime .

Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 84 and low of 64 degrees. Sunny for the morning, partly cloudy in the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
Thanks Francine! I discovered clafoutis last year and love making it for get-togethers. It’s always a hit. I usually use blueberries. I’ve never tried cherries, much less unpitted ones! That is worth a try!
What is this flower called?
