I’d carved and printed 3 birds as gift for my daughter, which I thought I had sized to fit in a 4x6 mat. Well I didn’t, they were too big. Sooooo, I decided to start over and do them again at the proper size. I am happier with this second set and very glad I did them. After they dry I have a nice frame with a tryptic mat that they’ll go in.

Perched in the Light

For some reason, I find myself drawn to these overexposed images. This particular one features a yellow bird amidst a crisscross of thin branches. It is likely a goldfinch, as there were hundreds around the day I took the photo. However, something about its body makes me think it might be a different species, possibly a pine warbler. Although difficult to see in this image, there appear to be streaks on its underbody.

Are you drawn to images like this one? I've posted a few that I found particularly interesting in my photo gallery at:
