Gardens by the Sea at My Studio Window

July 09, 2011

Above is the view from my studio window.  I'm one very fortunate woman.  Inspiration abounds, but there's always something that catches my eye and sets me off daydreaming.  On a windy day like today I watch the waves go by tipped by white caps. I love flowers, but we have a lot of deer and bunnies that like flowers, too so I've got lavender and rhododendrons, heather and heath in the yard.  For the bright summer color I crave I purchase flower baskets each year to hang outside my studio window.  I bought these in mid-April from Costco and they're really thriving.  They actually are much brighter from the inside than the photo above shows.
