No aphids are safe in you garden with these bugs around. Someone once told me that Lady Bugs are good luck. Seems to me a lot of things are supposed to bring you good luck. I suppose it is okay to believe, why not? One thing is for certain whenever I come across a Lady Bug I treat her with respect. I will even go to great lengths to rescue one trapped indoors.

#NatureDoodlewash Tree Swallow

A pair of tree swallows have built a nest inside a hole in a piling on our dock. We have enjoyed watching them coming and going busily feeding a nest full of young. On occasion the pair appear to be having words over how to raise and feed their young with a great deal of bickering back and forth. But soon they go back to busily coming and going. A cacophony arises from the nest with each trip. The youngsters have all left the nest now. But it would appear the couple are preparing for another batch. The cycle will begin again and we will be entertained some more.

Today I bring you a conch shell from that walk. If I hold the shell up to my ear I can still hear the Caribbean. In my world this memory is of the ultimate nature walk.

#NatureDoodlewash Butterfly

I inspect all my flowers and shrubs and make sure they are thriving in this heat wave. To my great joy and wonder a butterfly stops by for a visit. Flitting from flower to bud. Hardly stopping long enough for me to see its shape and colors. How can I remember how to draw that? If only my butterfly bush had survived the winter, then maybe my visitor would have stayed longer.

#DoodlewashDinner May 25th Wine Day
Posted: May 25, 2016 Filed under: #DoodlewashDinner, Gallery Mungyo Watercolor Crayons, Just for fun, National Days, Neocolors, Sketch book, Sketches/Doodles, Susan Feniak Originals, Uncategorized | Tags: #DoodlewashDinner, Gallery Mungyo Watercolor Crayons, Just for fun, Neocolor Caran D'Ache, Neocolors, sketch book, sketches, Sketches/Doodles, Susan Feniak Original Art 15 CommentsIt has been brought to my attention that there is a bit of a problem at our party. A shortage of wine. I have been known to be a problem solver and the shortage may be due mainly because I wouldn’t share my wine last week. I have decided to make up for the shortfall by bringing a box of wine to our #DoodlewashDinner. It is National Wine Day, so why not? Lets celebrate! Problem solved right? Wait a minute, it would seem the red wine drinkers may have a complaint now. Oh dear.
My #DoodlewashDinner today was done as per usual on Opus Essentials Sketchbook with Neocolor II Caran D’Ache by me Susan Feniak I have tried not to infringe on any copyright or trademarks. I must say it is an excellent wine and very much enjoyed at this house. Even out of a box.
Thank you once again to Charlie O’Shields at doodlewash.wordpress.com for making this another fun month of doodlewashing.

And my biggest glass. So be careful there may not be enough to go around! I do share but within reason!! Because I am not sure if I should post name brands I will keep myself out of trouble by hinting at its name with the design of the label. That being said I am sure they wouldn’t mind a little free advertising. It is a delicious wine with a citrus flavour that only New Zealand can provide. Cheers! Susan

Lucky coincidence I should say!! We are happy to oblige with a barbecued home made beef patty with lettuce, cheese, tomato and a beauty of a pickle served up on a big gooey bun. Looks good enough to eat.

I finally remembered we needed some lemons for our party! They will go well with that shrimp and of course the ground salmon wrapped with fillets of sole. I would like some lemon in my water and the beer that came with pizza night. Yummy!! Has anyone brought ice tea yet? Or lemonade?
#DoodlewashDinner is a project inspired by Charlie O’Shields over at doolewash.wordpress.com A month long party of food, he couldn’t go wrong! My lemons were done on Opus Essentials Sketchbook paper with Neocolor II Caran D’Ache
