I had so much fun meeting this family. They are beautiful and so sweet! This is Audrey at about 2 weeks.
This just melts my heart. 
And this one too.
This is Dodger who loves to play with that red ball.
Mom and Dad time with baby Audrey.

Silly face and sweet face. Welcome to the world Audrey!
love these little blue flowers and what a treat to have a little bumble bee visit them
Anyone know the name of this little jewel?
This past weekend I visited the Cheekwood here in Nashville to check out the Chihuly exhibit. It is beautiful! The afternoon was hot with an okay breeze so I did not see everything. My plan is to return for a Chihuly night to get photos in the late afternoon light and at night when the sculptures are illuminated.
And some lotus flowers and pods.
Gladiolas in the early morning light.

The magnolia trees are gorgeous this year full of more blooms than I have seen in years. Each bloom is like it’s own little secret world. The scent of the magnolia fills the air of the village.
Chasing rainbows…. while this is a faint rainbow, one can see where it begins and ends on Old Hickory Lake.
A glimmer of hope.

This past weekend I traveled to Van Buren County for another episode of Bluegrass Underground at Cumberland Caverns. Such a great show…. two days of Bluegrass and then some! More of that coming later this week. On the way into the entrance of Cumberland Caverns is this fabulous red barn. I have photographed it before but this time the white cows were out and there were babies. I was so happy and as much as I love listening to really good live music, this brought me great JOY!!
I present to you, Red Barn, White Cows Van Buren County…..
Recycling the Patron bottle as a beautiful home for the white peonies that bloomed in my backyard this year. I call this Tequila Peonies. They look beautiful sitting on the shelf in my kitchen in my money corner. Most all the peonies are gone for this year. I am glad I have lots of photos to remind me just how pretty they are. This print is an open edition print and is available to add to your art collection.
