The warm sun is setting on another steamy summer day.  Waves of heat rise from the fields.  The color of the sky changes every second.  The shade of the Maple tree dissipates as it is no longer needed protection from the sun.  It has other ways to be a refuge at night

This painting would great in a space that is deep red, orange, yellow, light green, blue, light purple, black, white, beige, or wood.

Nestled between hills covered with traditional wineries and family-run B&Bs is Canandaigua Lake.  After a morning in the warm waters, we peruse the village shops on Main Street.  We ended up at the restaurant at the marina watching the courteous boat traffic.  Our lazy journey to Naples seems almost heavenly as we pass roadside fruit stands overlooking the lake.  A great place for a summer day.    

This painting would look best in a space that is navy blue, burgundy red, evergreen, or cadmium yellow

Merry Tax Day!

Life and Times Along the Irondequoit Bay.  Nothing like a little family hike through Tryon Park


Rachel playing with a stick in the mud.


A beaver is about to block up this portion of the Irondequoit Creek/Bay


Rachel's angelic white hiking outfit was not so bright after the swamp...


My new best friend Daisy.  One of my co-workers brought her in for the day and now she knows that I am good at petting and giving her treats.


I call this: Daisy: Deep In Thought  Really, it should be Daisy: Why Won't This Guy Leave Me Alone?


It's rough getting all this love and attention at Lollypop.  Makes a dog tired...
