I was driving around looking for my next painting, when I came across this garden.  I rang the bell and asked if I could stand and paint the garden.   A woman answered the door, her name is Linda and this is her garden.  She was so kind to me as I painted day in and day.  She clearly loves her garden.   I am grateful to her for sharing it with me!  

One day while I was painting a small ruby throated humming bird flew into my painting.  It dropped, stunned, to the ground for a minute and then darted right back up into the sky.
