Sorry, not a really good picture of this, but it will have to do for the time being.

Every year the World Bird Sanctuary would invite their members out for a photography day. They'd place their birds in a more natural setting than the usual perch. It was a good time and you could get some pretty good pictures. They had this little guy sitting in the crook of the tree, and people were having a terrible time just finding the bird. It almost always had to be pointed out.

We seem to be lousy with raccoons around here. There's a family down the block that thought they were so cute. So they started feeding them. Well, that's fine except they don't stay down there. Just about every night they come up here and raid the bird feeders. Again, I can deal with that, just don't put out much seed before dark. Well, one night I look out the sliding door in the kitchen and my cat starts slowly backing away. That was strange because she usually ran around the house like crazy when she had a raccoon visitor. So I looked a little closer and saw that there was a family of five out there.

These three and the details are fabulous. I hope to be able to capture something like this one day.
I'd like to get back to doing some ink drawings. Something always seems to get in the way. What I'd really like is to get an etching press and do little things like this is small editions. Can't really afford that though.
Oh well, just make do with what you have.
