Yes, it doesn't take long to get to know people in the blog world, it's a lot of fun! Keep blogging.<BR/><BR/>Rosemary: Well, I had fun at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg when I visited many years ago, but perhaps that's what it takes to preserve the actual town.<BR/><BR/>Tor: Award yourself silver, bronze isn't good enough!<BR/><BR/>Xtreme: Photos taken in Markham, just to the N of Toronto. It used to be a sleepy country town, now occupied by a huge Chinese population. There are Dragon Boat races too, perhaps I'll get some photos of that in the summer.<BR/><BR/>CdnSwss: I had a good laugh about the coupon too!<BR/><BR/>LL: I really enjoyed watching the artist create this scene. He took about 10 minutes from start to finish. He also did some wonderful peony and bamboo studies.Shammickitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969803866899076638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154204376346679777.post-57246083596842144572007-02-21T10:27:00.000-05:002007-02-21T10:27:00.000-05:00I love the watercolor.

The bird's feathers were watercolor browns, melting into one another.L.L.
