Spring Showers – Curtains!

Posted on by debibishop

Spring! It’s just over the horizon.

And with it comes red robins, fresh air, colorful new flowers, beautiful skies, honey bees buzzing, wind and rain.

No matter the forecast, you can enjoy spring showers every day of the year with my new SPRING SHOWERS collection of bathroom shower curtains.

They are made from 100 percent polyester fabric, and they include twelve holes at the top of the curtain for simple hanging from your own shower curtain rings. The total dimensions each are 71″ wide x 74″ tall.

Visit my Beautiful Life Fine Art Gallery and order one for yourself today. You’ll find the images below available, and a few more as well.

Honeybee And Flowers

Honeybee And Flowers in February?

Thinking about honeybees and flowers in February.It’s wet, gray and gloomy this week in February. Never the less though, I’m thinking of summer and the return of the delicate flowers and busy honeybees.

I’ve been working on my fine art galleries, and this is one of my newest creations. I photographed this beautiful penstemon (also known as beardtongue) flower in the all-volunteer Master Gardener’s demonstration garden early last summer. The garden is located in Kennewick, WA.

I’ve treated the image with a bold brush stroke texture to enhance the vibrant color and details of the original photo.

This pretty little honeybee is available as a fine art print in my Etsy shop, and you can get there by simply clicking on the image.

Enjoy the Little Things in Life

Meet Mr. Snakefly. He showed up in my flowerbed of pink dianthus the other day, and very kindly posed for my camera for quite some time. If you see one of these guys in your yard or garden, treat him kindly, as he is one of the “good guys” in the world of bugs. He is predatory in the larvae and in the adult stages, which means he likes to eat aphids and other destructive insects in your garden. Here’s some more interesting information with facts you may not have known about this interesting little creature.

Make each day a new discovery

And just look what I discovered yesterday! A cute and very tiny katydid nymph enjoying a moment in the sun. I noticed him sitting on a green tomato leaf in my garden. The poor little guy looks like he’s lost half of an antennae, but that didn’t seem to phase him a bit. He has a very funny and cute way of walking with those gangly (and hairy) legs.

Will you give me a forever home?

Meet Rhino. This beautiful black and white cat is currently in foster care, waiting for his new forever home.

He’s oh, so beautiful, with his soft and silky coat of black and white patches. He is a bit of a loner when it comes to other cats and dogs. He will get along with them just fine, but pay no attention to them. He’d prefer to have you and your lap all to himself. Rhino is available for adoption through ASAP (Adopt Shelter Animal Pets) of West Richland, WA. For more information about Rhino, contact them here.
