About Me
- Nature's Beauty
- Virginia
- Artist, Barbara Cocks, is a Virginia native and has lived in Lynchburg most of her life. She has been married to her husband Phillip for 50 yrs. and is the proud mother of a son and daughter and grandmother of three grandsons. Barbara has had a long time desire to learn to paint. Her interest was encouraged after taking classes with a local instructor. Retirement has allowed the time to further pursue her love of acrylic and oil painting and photography. She has a great appreciation for God’s creation and its beauty and she strives to capture it on canvas and in photos. When she is not painting, she is in the garden working with her many flowers and always has her camera ready for that special photo. Her “backyard photography” includes everything from flowers to wildlife to sunsets and rainbows. She has exhibited at the Lynchburg Kaleidoscope Art Show, Beyond These Hills Gallery, The Bower Center in Bedford, Seven Hills Art Club at the Lynchburg Parks and Recreation Miller Center, The Framery, Lynchburg Community Market, The Dancing Leaf and the Rustburg Art Show and has been recognized with various awards.

Love the chaste tree - have never seen one before. I wonder what the Latin name is? I'll have to Google it and find out.
PS Sorry - clicked at the wrong moment. Wanted to say that I found you through Blotanical and have left you a welcome message there too.
I love flowers and the way you show them! gardening is one of my biggest passions
Hi There! I just found your blog through Blotanical! I love it~ I hope you're enjoying your summer. I will send you a message through Blotanical too but that will likely be later tonight. Have to beat the heat today~

After googling the chaste tree, the Latin name is Vitex agnus-castus. I'm a common name gardener, so I don't get into the impossible-to-remember names :-)
Nice blog with great photos. I just planted four o'clocks for the first time in my garden. Got a late start so they're not blooming yet. Hope they're as pretty as yours.
Saw you on Blotanical, btw. Stop by my plot or blog when you have a chance.
