Jeff came up from AZ and managed to capture some stunning images with the drone. The top is our view across the golf course and the bottom view is of our house..... we're in the lower center next to the empty lot.
I've revived my interest in taking more art classes. I thoroughly enjoy the fine details of botanical illustration and I'm taking zoom classes through Denver Botanic Gardens. It's been a learning curve to be sure..... some instructors are great, others not so much. But since I've taken these same classes many many years ago, I have managed to keep up just fine and look forward to the more advanced work after the prerequisites. Here is my finished project for Pencil I, the first required course. (our state flower, the Columbine).
Then I moved on to Colored Pencil basics and the workload seriously increased....apple and leaf and assorted other organic subjects. I do enjoy the process of layering many many colors...it is a slow
process. I'm now finishing up another course on Light / Form and drawing a carrot....exciting things ....
but I draw what I know. 
We did some bike rides with Mike and Jenna.....
We did a beautiful ride in Waterton Canyon , south of Denver. That is a woman fly fisher person.
Jeff came up from AZ...... and promptly tested positive for Covid..... Three days later, we succumbed.
It wasn't critical symptoms but it certainly wasn't like the common cold and we were all sick ..... we did seek out the Dr's advice and did not take the anti viral by choice. Codeine cough syrup made all the difference. Two weeks later, we are still feeling some effects and we continued to test positive for 10 days. I'm slowly getting back to walking and hope to get on the bike soon.
Thank you to Mary Oliver....
