I'm a wife, mom, and grandma (Mimi). I'm also a professional musician, composer, playwright, and artist. My hobbies include birdwatching, photography of said birds, and sewing! I live with multiple autoimmune diseases that dictate a gluten-free diet.
Red-shouldered hawks are so beautiful. This guy was eating his catch of the hour. We saw several RSHs today in Southwest Oklahoma!

Baby Red-Tails were all over Oklahoma yesterday, practicing their hunting skills.

The American Kestrel is a favorite raptor, for sure. This one was spotted today (by me) in SW Oklahoma.

I dreamt about a sweet blue-eyed puppy, and when I awoke, she was real, and she gave me kisses!

My deaf Maizey-girl does have a heart of gold.

Anyone else feel like they've got one foot out the door?

Dark Morph Red-Tail, looking like a boss.

Southwest Oklahoma, down by Texas.

My favorite escape from the demise of democracy is birdwatching.

Looking through a little clearing, and I spy this lady.

I've never captured such a lovely shot of the majestic red-tail. Usually, I get shots of them on utility poles, haha. Anyway, this one posed nicely for me. Today in North Central Oklahoma, almost Kansas!

I took this picture of a Ferruginous Hawk today in north central Oklahoma (the Great Salt Plains). Such magnificent creatures!

Portrait of a Red-Tailed Hawk. Some things I can look forward to for 4 years, #1: birdwatching!

We drove away from the Great Lakes yesterday and my heart always feels a little broken when we do. Driving from the UP through Wisconsin and Minnesota at least feels like the long kiss goodnight, for which I'm grateful. Until next time -- keep the home fires burning, eh?

I just successfully completed recertification and continued licensure for Music Therapy. I'm so relieved! Nothing like waiting until the midnight hour of the year, basically, but I feel good about the work I've been doing. Now I can officially just do some art for the rest of my break!!!!

I made a dozen paper roses for my friend. My favorite part of this season is making gifts and doing art!
