Be still my heart.
I do love watching hawks soar in the sky.
I suppose they like watching me too.
Have I told you my story about the cruelty of nature?
Outside my kitchen window.
The most high pitched, piercing cries.
A hawk had attacked a downy woodpecker.
and suddenly flew away with it caged in its talons.
Screaming into the distance.
My heart was racing.

Kendra, Thanks for stopping by! It was a shocking event. Let me think about what might be happening with the pulp fibers and I will write to you shortly.

chilling story.
literally 'nature red in tooth and claw', I suppose! beautiful drawing x
you do have a way with creating a mood, :). and the bird is gorgeous.
How fortunate to stumble upon your blog while absentmindedly hitting the blogspot "next" button. Your work pulls me in--it's great. If you have any interest in beginning gardening, I've just started working on my own blog, at www.hortusurbanus.blogspot.com, out in seattle. take care!
what a beautiful way of drawing and expressing. -Jayne
