First Painting of the New Year

 

I have been so very captivated and

inspired by the

snowy owls we've had the 

amazing opportunity to observe

this winter, truly a gift.

This is my first painting of them

and the first painting that I began

yesterday on my birthday.

I love them!

 

ps. it is also on my website

over here.

Their presence has made this 

winter very special for us.

Blizzard

So very cold today as the temperatures

hovered in the lower single numbers and

the wind swirled the fine snow.

Much activity at the bird feeders.

Down at the beach was quiet.

Sea smoke rose from the ocean which is

a rare sight.

A group of small gulls had gathered on the

beach and some were asleep. They must

have helped each other conserve energy by 

being close together.

 

First Day of the New Year

 

To our amazement this morning we saw 2 eagles

gliding overhead as I was observing a kingfisher

on the first day of the new year....

 

 

 

T'was the night before...

who should be on the chimney....

Happy Holidays!

Brody's Winter Tent

 

Brody enjoys camping out in his tent since I moved

it to my desk by the window....

It's so delightful to see him there!

First Big Snowstorm

Looking out early this morning to see snow mounds

from overnight. That's the birdbath!

We have to make sure the birds can find their food.

Interesting Sightings this Week

A beautiful fox darted out in front of

our car and into the golf course...

 

My favorite is this Snowy owl on an Adirondack chair

towards evening last night.

 

Can you see the Snowy owl?

Snowy Owl Sunday

The Snowy Owl landed on a telephone pole

with a row of starlings. 

Neither paid any attention to the other.

Peaceful...

Such beauty!
