Here’s the red-tailed hawk perching on a dead tree in our pasture. It was too far away for a sharp photograph and not facing the right direction for good light. Better luck next time.

After a six-month hiatus due to arm pain issues, I started sketching again. I sketched a snail and then decided it would make a good subject for me to teach myself how to paint with watercolors.
Purple snails actually exist: Janthina janthina. Mine don’t look anything like any real snail, but that’s okay with me.
The grackles took advantage of the shopping cart overturned in the pond in back of the shopping center.
