Today is the first day… of the rest of the month!
It is time for Leslie Saeta’s January 30 Paintings In 30 Days Challenge. Here is my Day One, a GIF for you. Three slides only. I added flecks of color, and then a few long strokes of pastel. Subtle. No title yet.
HAPPY SUPERCALIFRAGILISTIC 2015 to you! May all your days be blessed!

Oh, and the snow is still here. 75 degrees this weekend!
We have had snow here before. It was about ten years ago, and it was light. Didn’t last long.
This snow has been coming down for at least a couple of hours. I have been painting, and listening to the wind howling. I thought it was just raining, so I did not bother to lift the blinds and look.
The news mentioned snow in the Cajon pass, and in the mountains. But that is not unusual. Snow in Wildomar, that is downright bizarre.
Have a Happy and SAFE New Year’s Eve!
While baking cookies, I turned just in time to glimpse a huge dark something fall into the backyard. When I walked over to the window, I saw this slowly strolling on the grass. I reached for my phone, too late. It had perched on the fence.
It hung out there for a few minutes. Carefully strolled from one side to the other. I hurried to get the camera for a decent shot, but I was too late. Again.
So these are as good as they get. From my brief research, I am speculating that this is a heron.
Dark, dusty-looking feathers. Dusty or steely blue. Solitary. Likes to roost in trees. Dark stripe above the eye. Flies with neck curved like an “s”.
Is it a Heron, and Egret or a Crane?
