Seagulls On Ice

John and I found a great spot to take photos of the frozen Hudson River the other day. Here’s the first one – Seagulls on Ice! (Nothing like Pigs in Space, but you’re certainly free to say it like that if you like.)

I’ve never really seen seagulls hanging around on ice floes before, usually just sandy beaches and fast food parking lots.  In this shot, I especially like the pointy, glass-like shards of ice you can see floating in the background.

A Bit of Snow for Valentine’s Day

We got 14-16″ of snow yesterday and early this morning. It’s very pretty, but it took me a half-hour of digging before I FOUND the mailbox.  I still have to dig it out so that the mail carrier can REACH it from their truck.  Later.  Maybe.  LOL.

Icy Winter Waterfalls

A few days ago we stopped by a local waterfall. It was surrounded by snow and frozen over in parts – just really beautiful!

In the first image, I love the icicles of course, but also the deep midnight blue of the water and the brown rocks.  In the second image, I especially like the big gush of water with the frozen boulder contrasting in front of it.

The day I took these photos was one of the first recent days we’ve had where the temperatures were above freezing – this is how we celebrated – LOL!

(Prints are available – click the images.)

White-Throated Sparrow

One of the little birds that frequent our space – a White Throated Sparrow!

Please make note of the stylish, bright yellow eyebrows – LOL.

Zentangle Ribbons Mixed Media Fine Art

I just finished this one – a zentangle drawing against an abstract watercolor painting background. I called it “Zentangle Ribbons” because there are two-sided ribbons twisting through the piece, creating a subtle structure for the diverse shapes and textures in each area. More importantly, though, this was really fun to make! 🙂

I’ve adapted this piece for prints and products on a number of sites – feel free to browse!
