Illustration Friday - Spring!

Winter is an etching,
spring a watercolor,

summer an oil painting and
autumn a mosaic of them all.
Stanley Horowitz

And then, again, there's photoshop.

Actually, I DO have dianthus, strawberries and hostas coming up in my garden. And while we often have real live cottontails foraging in the parsley and mondo grass, this image is derived from a plaster garden bunny.

Cute little bunny! The bed of flowers that surrounds her - or him - looks like it's going to make some mighty fine munching!

Reminds me of one of those squishy (and springy) marshmallow bunnies and chicks. Very cute picture.

And I saw your cilantro above... that and tomatillos are essential ingredients (and, well, yeah, of course the pork and a lot of other stuff) for a friend's chili verde recipe, just about my all-time favorite food.

Thanks for the referral to the bear/poppy photo on MSNBC's Animal Tracks. A great shot.

Take care.

Well it may have been a plastic garden bunny but it could be my own sweet pet rabbit! Lovely picture!
