Nature's Solace

Morning Peeps, my favorite time of the day is right at dawn to about 8AM, the colors change every few minutes and the birds communicate, as if greeting each other to a new day.  Over the last week, there is also a subtle change in the direction of the sun, hints of a coming fall and the birds are the first I think to pick that up.  Their songs change a bit as if declaring it is becoming time to harvest and grow thicker feathers.  I cannot think of a better way to spend my first few hours in the morning than watching and listening to the wakening of the great Mother Earth on this part of the Continent.  Being Tuesday, the Silhouette Library posts new items and the background paper I used is one of them, I love this background.  I took a block and did a quick flower sketch, penned it out and then took my Copic markers to it.  The branch was cut from the "Memorty Box" branch and I just left it white to pick up the white in the flower and boader.  The bird is Silhouette and was cut from the new background also, added a few faux stitches.  Hope you will take a moment this week to wonder of our changing season and the subtle changes, hugs
