The Littlest Guests
Carolina Chickadee As you’ve probably noticed, I tend to include a variety of species in my bird photography posts. As a result, I’m sometimes afraid that I focus too much on larger, visually stunning species, like hawks, jays, and certain woodpeckers, and I, perhaps, don’t give enough attention to the littlest guests at my feeders.

On the Bright Side & Other Art
On the Bright Side, paper collage, 2022 Here is a new batch of “inner landscapes”. As you can probably tell from the plethora of cacti in these pieces, I am still working with a lot of vintage Arizona Highways magazines. They’re so much fun.

I’m also planning a hike for sometime next week and hope to have mountain views to share with you, as well. A quick note: […]
