Nesting Hummers

I post a holder for dryer lint for the birds to use in their nests. Today, I saw a hummer picking out some fluff to use for her nest. My first sighting of the year. Now to try and follow her to see what else I can discover!
Isn't Spring wonderful! Here's one of my new etchings of a hummer nest.

Birds in Art 2008

Wonderful news today...... my watercolor, "Gleaning the Shallows", was accepted into Birds in Art 2008. Birds in Art is an international avian art competition that has been around for over 30 years. What an honor. I'm so jazzed. Here's the painting.

I spent the morning chipping cedar branches for mulch. I've had a lot of work done on the property and it is really looking good.

Now it is back to the art work...

I spent yesterday afternoon taking classes at the Apple Store. Here's Karl explaining some of the finer points of my computer. These One-to-One classes are great - you get individualized help in a relaxed atmosphere.

There is a lot of new art on the horizon. I'll be posting images here, and sending out a newsletter soon.

Bird sightings

I saw two male hummingbirds this morning. One hummy was chasing bigger birds through the oak tree - and another was having a drink at the feeder. It seems a bit early for their return, but maybe it is just time passing so quickly. I am looking forward to a long season of watching their feisty antics.
