I stumbled on a link to Martin Guitars and was looking at some of the new models. But then I thought, are you really going to find something better than the Martin I've had for 47 years?

Probably not. For one thing they are awfully expensive. A new Martin D-35 runs $3500! Some of the custom limited addition guitars can go as high as $50,000! Maybe they would give you a deal if you bought 2! LOL!
In the end, I decided on an image to give my guitar some love. Made this with from a shot of my guitar and an eagle shot from the lake.

I hope everyone got out and enjoyed Earth Day yesterday.

We attacked the ravine that runs behind the house. We picked up Styrofoam, paper, plastic flowers, wrappers, assorted bottles and cans and 2 lounge chairs from the creek.

That's where I spotted these beauties growing deep in the thicket. I believe they are Wild Sweet William's Phlox. I'm not a 100% sure but I'm sure from the smell that they are Phlox of some kind.

Also known as Common Speedwell or Creeping Speedwell.
Found this one growing at the edge of the ravine. The blooms are very little, about 1/4 " around.

Another wildflower from the park.

The bloom can have anywhere from 5-10 petals on them.
Hoping it doesn't freeze tonight! What a week of weather.
