Hoot

Here's a sneak peek at a giant horned owl that I've been working on.

I've gone a tad overboard with the patterning of this fine feathered friend!

But I couldn't resist! I'll be back at the end of next week with an update.

Have a lovely weekend!

Puppy Love

Birdie's border collie friend Follow just had puppies!
They are three days old today and there are eight puppies in the litter.
They are such precious little creatures and each has beautiful markings.
I've been visiting them quite a bit.

Naturally

I love collecting little bits of nature on my daily walks.

The hummingbird nest was quite a find. It was on the ground just waiting to be noticed.

I pulled my latest specimens together for a closer look.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
