BackYard Art

I started creating backyard art in March of 2020 as a result of the pandemic. When my job at a local newspaper went away, like most of us I needed a creative outlet. I was lucky to find it in my own backyard. I turned my attention to my wildflower garden and nearby parks and nature areas.

Dogwood blossoms in the rain are among my favorite subjects. Being on of the first flowers of spring they bring a sign of hope and new beginnings. This photo was taken early on a April morning during a cool spring rain. I still smell and feel that rain when I view this image.
