Around the Bend



This is the scene on our way to town to check
the mail at the Post Office.
Ducks and occasionally a loon or heron can be
spotted in the cove. I always look forward to
seeing who may be there.
Do you have a favorite spot for viewing wildlife?

I am lucky that I live in the country so I see lots of wildlife and it is very often right outside my window

Hi Sian,
Isn't wonderful to have wildlife within view of your window!
Our yard borders a brook and we get some unusual visitors sometimes. I especially loved seeing the porcupine way up in the willow tree in the spring.

That's a beautiful painting. I'd so love to live there :)

I love to lay in bed on a spring morning and watch the birds fill the old hawthorn tree outside our window, and I really love to be woken by the dawn chorus. When they settle down and go quiet later in the year, I feel like I'm holding my breath until they start again!

Hi Kim,
What a beautiful description of the dawn chorus...I think you may be hearing that sooner than us!

I really like this painting. I have always been fascinated by snow and you have captured it's beauty so well in this picture.
