This Blue Jay visited our back deck a few summers back, checking me out through the window. As it stayed for at least 10 minutes, it may have been a juvenile who hadn't yet learned the job of screeching to scare off all the others birds. Day 6 of

Day 10: This spring, we had a day of torrential rains and flash flooding, and this flock of American white pelicans had to pause its migration and hunker down at a lake until conditions were better. This shot was taken the next day, as they lifted off to head northwest. 🪶

I am certainly not an artist, but I am a crafty type. Lately, I’ve been creating (rather adorable! lol) art from the sea glass, shells and rocks I have collected during my recent travels. Here’s one.

Violet-green Swallow... Associated with positive traits, such as loyalty, patience, and cheerfulness, and are often considered good luck. They can also symbolize love and devotion.

The elusive Northern Hawk Owl. This amazing bird of prey (owl) can spot prey 1/2 a mile away. There may be only 200,000 in the world. Small and fierce.

Dec. 5 Tree swallows catch insects in flight and often hunt over marshes. But they also get thirsty. This Tree swallow has just finished scooping up some water to drink, just like a water bomber airplane filling up!

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

my drawing of a juvenile red-shouldered hawk, done with black and sepia inks. I made the reference photo from far away with a telephoto lens; the parents were teaching this baby to hunt, and he/she was crouching by my back fence, complaining loudly.

day 2, some fishing lures 😅 Variations on this design have trended on social media for a while. I used creme polishes for the bases, some with gradients, and topped them all with a sheer holographic magnetic polish. Then I added details using more creme polishes.
