Art, garden, herons




This was the 33rd anniversary  of the Moss Street Paint In (minus the two covid years) sponsored by the Art Museum.  The entire length of Moss St., some 20 blocks, is closed off to cars and as many as 150 artists set up their booths displaying their art while they execute more as you watch.  The only one I photographed is the booth of Tanya Bubb, a sculptor who works with driftwood.  She makes lovely, endearing pieces.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 



On Discovery Island there is a sort of depression, a sunken, enclosed area just on the other side of dunes from the ocean.  The trail leading through this area was full of these pretty, yellow flowers.  No idea what they are.



My garden is really flourishing right now with days of warm sunshine.  The little poblano pepper shows some promise.

I think I may have overdone it with the basil.  There really is a lot.  I could make a batch of pesto every day.


Everything is bursting with growth including the tomatillo, the zucchini, the bush beans.

The bees love these leek flowers.
