i spy a tiny surprise....

i was on my bike the other day and spied this fabulous color combination.....

don't you just love this florida-sky-blue and palm-tree-green duo?

and as i looked down the tree, i also saw lots of yummy browns.....

and grays.....and some tiny windows..... and a tiny door?!

so, from now on, not only will i continue to look for wonderful
color combinations, but i'll also try to spy who's using this tiny little door....

(wouldn't it be fantastic if it's the tiny keebler elves,

 baking batches of yummy cookies in their tiny keebler oven?!!) 

i hope your weekend is filled with
 tiny colorful surprises!  :)) 

florida palm

we have several palm trees in our yard.  i like to call them "florida palms", although i'm sure that's not their scientific name.  

they're spikey, and spiney, and have tons of texture with all of that moss tucked in and around everywhere.

  

i tried to climb one when i was a kid........you only have to do that once to know it's not a good idea.  so as a bigger kid now, i'll just admire from a distance and try to sketch them...... :))
