Water Fowl Along The Riverwalk
I popped on down to San Antonio for a stroll along the beautiful riverwalk. There were some birds there, of course.
You looking at me? (How do birds turn their heads like that?)
I came home with a lot of blurred duck photos. I just can’t seem to figure out the manual settings for my camera for moving objects. However, this last photo is a happy accident. I really like it. I couldn’t have gotten this blurred result if I tried.

My Favorite Angel
My friend Pat gave me this angel statuette. I must have taken hundreds of photos of it while it was in her garden. Now it’s on my front porch. I adore it.
Thread Painted Rabbit
I drew a rabbit a few days ago (based on Mark Crilley’s YouTube video How To Draw A Rabbit) and then I “painted” it in thread (on my sewing machine). This is my first effort at thread painting without having a photograph on the base fabric; this is all free-hand. I think the whiskers are too dark, but it is not like using graphite pencils where I can erase!

When I drew the rabbit, I used two pencils: Raffiné 3B and Prismacolor Black. When I stitched the rabbit, I used seven threads: Gütermann 30-weight 4335, 8, 9333, 40, 3454, 93, 000 (black). I used the black for the whiskers; too dark.
