Spring Is Here! #BEDM

My favourite thing about spring…

Well, spring has certainly made an appearance today and what a wonderful day it has been. Spring is my number one season! What I love about it is its optimism. There is a promise that the days are getting longer; flowers are appearing and people are immerging from hibernation.  Blossom is one of my favourite things, and also the fact that my birthday in spring makes me rate spring particularly highly.

Whilst on the topic of birthdays I have to mention that my Grandma is 98 tomorrow, here she is, sunning herself in my parent’s garden on a visit last year. I think it may technically be a summer photo but I couldn’t find one that had my Grandma and cherry blossom on! Anyway, she is amazing.
 
 
My second favourite thing about spring is County Cricket. I haven't got a clue what is happening but I love watching and listening to the game ticking away. Maybe one day I'll join a ladies' team, although Rounders is much more up my street!
My sister Lu is also taking part in the BEDM challenge and you can read her posts at our Fi&Me page.

In the office at work, we were talking about how much better the mood and general feeling is when it's sunny. It makes such a difference!

Rhino Mania

Does my bum look big in this?! Here's a sneak preview of the rhino that I was commissioned to paint for Wild in Art's Rhino Mania. It will be part of a procession of rhino's that will be in Chester this summer. The event is organised by Chester Performs and you can find out more on the website www.rhinomania.co.uk. You can also join the facebook group for rhino mania to get updates of how the projects progressing. It's for a 2 really good causes for chester zoo and rhino conservation so your support would be briliant. If you're feeling flush you can even bid to buy one in September! My rhino is called 'The Wallower.' I'm looking forward to finding out who has sponsored her and where she will be placed. Images of the completed rhino to come so keep visiting my blog... www.rhinomania.co.uk http://www.rhinomania.co.uk/gallery/rhinos To see the final result and the steps I took to paint my rhino visit www.cargocollective.com/fionameakinillustrations
