Happy Easter!

In honor of the Easter Bunny  .... some of my favorite bunnies.

Anne's Rabbit

... just loves purple Homestead Verbena

Flopsy and Mopsy live in my backyard. 

Spring, when the Phlox blooms is their favorite time of year.

I found this little bunny hiding out at Homestead Gardens last year.

Apparently he really loves Petunias.

This is my very favorite.  Our granddaughter, Addie with Flopsy and Mopsy.

All of these images were snapshots taken with an inexpensive little point and

shoot camera and then enhanced a little bit by me in Photoshop.

Hope you have a Happy Easter!!

Nice Catch!

I've posted so many photos of pretty posies lately ... I just wanted to remind folks that one of the main reasons folks move here is because of the fishing.  Fishing is one of the main things that makes Paris Landing so wonderful.

This is my cousin Andy "Butch"  Bolding of Paris Landing

Nice Catch!

Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny is alive and well and has been spotted in Paris Landing.

Hope you have a Happy Easter!!

Once Upon A Time ... Photo Restoration

Original Photograph

Once upon a time ...


     There was a beautiful woman who got all dressed up in a beautiful dress to go to a military ball with her Prince Charming.  A photograph was made and put away into a photo album so that sometime down the road she and her children and her grandchildren could all look at it and see the beautiful dress and know what a special night it had been.


     Unfortunately, the photograph was placed in one of those albums with the sticky pages and plastic page covers ... which eventually turn yellow and will not let go of your photographs.



The original photograph was only about 2 inches wide, pretty small.  It was sent to me to see if I could make it a little bigger.  So this is what I did.

Restored photo

I cleaned it up, dropped the old background and put in a new one more appropriate for such a regal lady.   And then ....

Color Tinting

I color tinted it. 

I love this restoration. If you need to have an old photo restored please email me for details.

State Park Art Display

I went to Paris Landing State Park this morning to put up a display of my artwork.

I think it's wonderful that they let local artist display their talent like this.

As I was leaving I couldn't help but notice ...

 ... the beautiful Pansies just outside the front door.

And then because it was such a beautiful morning

I drove on over and went through the picnic area.

I love the lake when it looks like this.

Have a beautiful day!

Wisteria & Kittys

If you aren't into flowers or the wonders of Spring, you may need to take a detour for a few weeks from this blog. Here at Paris Landing we are having one of the most beautiful Springs!  All the flowers and blooming trees are perfect this year and I just can't help my self.  It's just too pretty to ignore.

So any way, I was visiting my friend Cindy Rice the other day and she mentioned she had a pretty Wisteria bush and didn't I need a photo of some Wisteria.  Well, I'm always game for a neat photograph and I had seen some Wisteria around here, a small bush here and there, but nothing that just begged to be photographed.  She kept telling me what a pretty Wisteria bush it was so I thought, why not?

Well .......

My goodness! 

I love it!!!  And then - along came this sweet little creature!

Hello kitty, kitty!

And of course while I was there I had to look around for other neat things.

Like this lizard attached to a Kentucky Lake rock with their house number, and ..

... these pretty little stepping stones.

Well ... hello again!  Apparently the Wisteria also makes a great jungle gym for the kitty.

Back to interesting things.

A bird house in a bird bath.  How convenient!

One of the most interesting potting/storage??? sheds I've ever seen.

There may be a painting here.

Let's see now, why was I here?

Oh yes.

The Wisteria!

Bye, bye!  Hope you enjoyed your visit.
