The Little Nuthatch

I don't like to get political, due to my general wariness about politics (even though I always try my best to research & vote), but I am "feeling the Bern" as it were. When that bird landed on Bernie's podium and "Birdie Sanders" happened it was too perfect, and at the suggestion of a friend, I did a Birdie painting. I've made some magnets and cards. Maybe I can raise a little money for the Bernie campaign. Magnets & cards on Etsy.

February/March is Sandhill Crane nesting season in Central Florida, and every year I enjoy watching them. Here is a Crane on a nest at a local park, February 18th:   This year I noticed a nest in some wetlands in walking distance of my home, and was able to keep a closer eye  on it and catch the chicks when they were still in the nest (March 7th).  At one point a chick was tucking under the parents wing with only it's little face out.

A couple new cards up in the shop. Buffalo, as we tend to call them, that are actually "Bison": The bison were inspired by some sweet families I saw in Colorado a couple years ago.

A couple weeks ago I spent a lovely weekend at a cabin at Gold Head Branch State Park in Keystone Heights, FL. It was the perfect weekend- in the 60s during the day, 30s at night, and sunny.

Do you see the silhouette of the deer in the foggy distance?
