I recently started diffusing essential oils in the home. Not only is it satisfying, it's fun to use. The variety of essential oils is vast and practical. One can get calming, uplifting, cleansing, sensual. It may sound hoaxy. But the oils really can lift the mood or calm the mind (in my experience).
Even as a young child, I never liked the chemical scent of air fresheners. But essential oils are a different story. They are genuine organic oils (by organic, I mean not man made -- but some are certified organic too).
Can you find the bird on the tree? It's right below the knot on the left aspen. The knot looks a bit like an eye. It's a woodpecker. At first its head was in a hole.
I was looking for a mountain bluebird, but they eluded my camera today. I thought I saw a couple of them in flight.
Here is a crow in the horse pasture. And below is a robin.
I got up this morning and saw this bull in one of the horse pastures. I decided to take his picture.
I imagine this is the first time he's had his photo taken.
I am on the ranch in Idaho this week. Will be posting some new artwork from my Idaho studio on the ranch.
There is a lot of wildlife around. On a quick stroll, I saw flocks of birds, antelope, and deer, along with the pet cats, dogs, horses, and the cows (all have babies right now).
The sky is so big up in the mountains, the moon shines during blue skies.
Mountain lupine. This is what the Karner Blue butterflies must have to survive. (I posted a painting of one on the blog a couple days ago.)
