Art anyone?

I love drawing, but I'm not all that great...I'm better at sewing. All of your pictures are lovely! I

How did I miss this thread? I am amazed at the talent here. Good, very good, ya'll. Samantha thanks for starting this thread. I used to draw, then life happened. I switched to needlepoint, then to sewing and upholstery, now I don't do artwork. Haven't in years. My "art" turned into practical things, like chicken coops, gardens, fencing and so on.

I can SO relate to the need for a tripod. My cellphone camera is USELESS! drat! Love your pictures. What is the blue flower?

Sorry @Queen Mum. I just found this. To answer your question, the blue flower is a Wild Violet.

I took these photos in my garden in PA.

In the Spring, about 20 years ago, when I was mowing the lawn of my Craftsman Bungalow, in Rochester, MN, I noticed a purple flower in the grass. On closer inspection, I realized it was a violet plant. I LOVE violets - going way back in my childhood. So, I carefully mowed around it and several others I found. I went back & dug them up & planted a border of them in my flower beds. The border ended up being 12 inches wide & 30 feet long!

When I sold that house I took several trays of plants with me. These were in our garden in PA, and were off-spring of those plants.

Sadly, when we moved from PA to TX, the plants I brought didn't survive the hot dry summer, our first year here. I have bought some seed & will try starting some new violet plants this coming Spring.
