I spent Presidents day picking up my art from the Image Gallery and taking art to Hidden Lake Gardens. The LCVA will be exhibiting art there starting this Thursday and will be there until April. I stopped in the conservatory to check the flowers. I’m not really sure how long it will take for the bulbs to bloom but they look ready to burst in my opinion. I spent some time taking a few snapshots of the greenery in the temperate and tropical rooms. The sun came out while I was there which warmed up the greenhouses instantly. You could almost sense the flowers and plants starting to smile. I spent Saturday morning cross country skiing at HLG but the snow is almost gone now. The recent rain has melted most of it. I love the snow but I’m also looking forward to spring. The Great American Bird Count was this weekend and I helped HLG count a few birds while skiing. Some folks spotted some Robins but I didn’t see any. I was too busy trying not to run into trees. I ski the hiker trail which is a little more challenging than the posted CC ski trail. The snow was cold and fast so I took the downhills faster than normal. Now that I’m home it’s time to clean up my studio and start on my next project. The paint will be packed up temporarily. I have to create some relief prints for a friend’s wedding. And, I have to get ready for another lino-cut workshop. I’m holding workshops at Adrian College this Thursday and next Thursday. Hidden Lake Gardens has given me plenty of imagery to use for my work. Now I just need to sit down and get started.
