Bird on the Rocks

I will be spending a good part of my Saturday at the dentist and carving out this bird stamp based on a design I painted on a rock last year.

Variations of Green

Now all the pretty greens I saw yesterday. 

We went on a short road trip with Manolo & the boys to the nearby town of Avandaro. The countryside was gorgeous and brimming with blooming cosmos & fall wild flowers.

We saw shepherds with their sheep, roaming cows and beautiful horses galloping with their foals. There a few things I enjoy more than road trips during this time of year.
