These are the award ribbons I made for the Women’s Invitational Art Challenge I sponsored in San Juan Cosala yesterday. Come back later to see the ten entries and photos of the opening reception. (The flowers are made of corn husks by ladies on the other side of the lake.)

Cee remarked on loving my garden, so here is a view of some of it for her. If you click on the photos, they enlarge, and some have captions.

Some denizens of my garden are fauna, not flora. This colorful insect is a large cow-killer ant (actually a female wingless wasp with a very painful bite, thus the name.)
More insects. This on a walking stick.
This little guy rapped loudly on some tree in the neighborhood until I finally went out to see where he was. But, the minute I went out the door, he would freeze.Finally, however, I caught him doing his business, whereupon he promptly flew away and has not returned. Here he is eighty feet up in the tree.
Had to resurrect my Canon camera with an 80X lens to get these closeups.
