Happy to place 2nd female at the Old Six Day track ultra. I lost a 20-mile lead after the dreaded lateral lean took over on day 5.
I persisted, & persevered & collected 963 laps/239.06 miles, 2.45 miles behind first place fellow female finisher.
Ultra no. 42 at age 67 ✅ 😊

The loss of any tree, big or small, young or old, is always heartbreaking. Nice tribute.

"In Times of Chaos, Find Respite and Calm in Blooming Flowers"
11"x 14" acrylic on green canvas
Painted August 11, 2025
painting no. 95
Inspired by our flower garden under the white dogwood tree
#create #plant #flowers
This bright bluebird stopped by our glass patio table and made a cloudy day beautiful, made me smile, and posed long enough for to me to capture it in my phone camera. And then it flew away, because that’s what birds do. 😊
THE END
#bluebird
7 #paintings & 1 mixed media created in Jan & Feb.
Inspired by nature, hikes, our backyard, the snow blizzard, our hens Ruby and Rosie's nest, my yellow art studio, a 40-year-old ink drawing in my scrapbook, and paintings hanging in my home studio.
I say, “In times of world chaos, create.”
Getting ready to create my next painting.
