Visit Me at Knoxville's Wild Birds Unlimited

Visit me at Knoxville's, Wild Bird's Unlimited website!  What a fun surprise to discover that I'm the feature of their home page for the month of April.  When you open their website this month the first thing you see is an introduction to me and my art!
For the past several months I've been writing monthly articles for the website focused on birds found in my yard and in other favorite places.  Right now I'm having fun watching a pair of Eastern Phoebe's nesting and have written about them in my WBU April article, Phoebe Nuptials and the Hard Work of Nesting.  Click the link and enjoy some fun images of these captivating birds!
When I get this sketchbook page finished, I'll post it and share more about this pair's activities.

Meanwhile, more fun Limpkins images coming up and I have more birds to show you from my January Florida visit--among them, Roseate Spoonbills, a funny Tri-colored Heron hunting, and Black Skimmers hanging out on the beach with Royal Terns.

I also have to mention, right here at home, I was buzzed by a hummingbird yesterday and heard chirping for several seconds after our near collision.  I couldn't find her but what a joy to know our Ruby-throated hummers are arriving!

For the Love of It...

...the sage sees heaven reflected in Nature as in a mirror, and he pursues this Art, not for the sake of gold or silver, but for the love of the knowledge which it reveals.
Sendivogius (1750)

Your Uncapped Creativity...

Your Uncapped Creativity...
"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action; and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. You must keep that channel open. It is not for you to determine how good it is, nor how valuable. Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is for you to keep it yours, clearly and directly." ----the great dancer, Martha Graham
