I had really planned on going out to a wildlife refuge in the morning and doing some shooting. There's an Eastern Screech Owl that's been seen there several times this week, and I'd love to see it. Owls continue to elude me somehow. I have shots of a Great Horned, but it was a rehab owl, so it doesn't really count. The only "in the wild" owl I've gotten any shots of was a Short-Eared Owl that was at Cades Cove for months last winter--but I had very specific instructions on finding it, so that helped.

Anyway, I decided not to try to get out there. Too much other stuff to get done if I'm going to go tailgating in the afternoon and then go to the game.

Maybe Sunday I can get out after church and find the screech owl.

De nada.

This project was more an exercise in creative thinking than actual drawing. At first I drew and painted my bear in various media: charcoal, con-tee crayon, graphite, acrylic, and India ink. Then I started putting my bear into different poses and different locations. Finally, I placed him into various hockey jerseys and made 6 special bears - one for each of the five countries in which polars are indigenous: US, Canada, Russia, Greenland & Norway. (continued)

Z's are cool. especially if you punctuate the sucker by slashing across the middle with a swashbuckling cross-line.

I always use the slash. I also use the slash for my 7's. Grew up with Europeans teaching me how to write

Good luck. I'm not a birder ... but that stuff seems very hard.

I slash everything also ... just because I can.

Well, I got some things I gotta go get done and then I'll likely be ready to head off to bed.
I'll be back bright and early, coffee in hand!

Well, the coffee will actually be in a cup, and the CUP will be in my hand.

Sky's a bit grainy in this one but I don't even care. For the record, all of the Portra shots I just posted are sooc. No post other than dust removal. Friggin' love Portra!

Travel Town

Located in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California, Travel Town is a collection of trains in various stages of refurbishment. The trains are available to the public for inspection and just to climb over. I've been to travel town before and wanted to shoot something different than "just trains" (although trains are always cool.) So I went for color ... then I spotted the layers of paint on partially sanded cars.

Similar to clouds or a Rorschach ink blot test, one can see a variety of shapes in the images.
