I finished this drawing today: a hermit thrush. It’s one of my favourite local birds: they are a bit shy and sound like flutes in the trees. #Birds #SciArt

Coloured pencil drawing of a small brown and white bird with dark spots on the chest, perched on the branch of a conifer.

One of my favourite shots I have taken. A beautiful Great Grey Owl flying straight towards me.

A beautiful morning last week in the Netherlands, the morning just after I returned from Greenland. Glad I woke up for this! Might be my favourite windmill photo this year :)

I don't know what I might have done to have this rosebush gift me with this lovely rose in the middle of November, but here it is. On the South Shore of Long Island, New York.

A blooming rose, cream colored petals with a hint of pink at the very tips of several of the petals.

Here's Mr Crow for #BirdOfTheDay on the theme #takeoffs

He looks like he is falling off his perch rather than taking off! ☺️

Good evening from me, see you tomorrow 👋 📷 🪶

A photograph of a Crow that has one foot on and one off a post that he had been perched on. He is leaning forward to the left and looking down as if he is about to fall off his perch!

White-throated Sparrow

I am always happy to see these gorgeous little creatures...

“Dark Blue” is finished. Coloured pencil on cotton paper. With thanks to the juvenile great blue heron who tolerated me and my camera last spring :)
