When we left home the sun was shining and the world looked beautiful. As we traveled west the clouds began to overtake the area. By the time we got a few miles from Quincy the snow began to fly. We wondered if our start to the year was going to be a big strike out since visibility wasn't good and with the snow would the gull fly.<br />

The Ivory Gull was most cooperative. We didn't have to wait long for the gull to come in to the ice right in front of where we were parked. It took a dip in a small opening of the ice and proceeded to preen. </div>

A friend of ours, Evan Speck, took a picture of an immature White Ibis and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=552652501506597&set=pcb.851839658159719&type=1&theater">posted it on FB</a> on Indiana Birds. It is a great photo. I liked it so much I had to draw it. If you look at the two pictures he posted you will see in the second photo only one antennae sticking out of the bird's bill. Fab photos. I am often inspired by his photos. Thanks Evan for letting me paint from your photos.</div>

My Daughter is getting married next month. I was trying to think of something special to do for her (them). They are of an age that they don't need or want any thing really. This wedding journal is what I have come up with. She and her fiance are eloping to Key West, Fl for the tying of the knot. The good thing about this is that we are invited. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The front and back of the journal is covered with paper that has sand on it. I thought that quite appropriate since they are having the ceremony on Smathers Beach.</div>

Her ring is gorgeous. She can hardly wait to wear it. Those of you that are married can surely remember that feeling of anticipation. I found a beautiful scripture that I thought appropriate (top right on the ring page) and a poem about love (on lower right) written by Maya Angelou.</div>

Don't worry, she never looks at my artsy blog. It will be a nice surprise. So if you have been wondering where I have been I have been home working quite a bit on this book. It usually takes me forever to fill one of these books. It feels like I have been working on it forever too. ha... Now I can relax and enjoy spring. If it ever gets here.</div>

Yes, I have been a bit busy lately. I have done a few sketches. This one is a Lilac-crowned Parrot done on a card for a fellow blogger, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lilac.lamb">Lilac Lamb,</a> that has befallen an accident. She should have it by now so that is why I am posting. I hope she feels better even though it is going to take time for her to fully recover. </div>

The image below is something that stuck in my head and I couldn't get it out unless I sketched it. We were driving into the park where we walk Annie and I saw a red-bellied woodpecker fly onto a tree branch. I put up my bins and saw this face looking back at me from a dark hole in the tree. It was so cute. </div>

My Dearly Beloved and I got a phone call from a birding friend about an unusual bird sighting for our area. A couple of White-winged Scoters showed up on a small lake not far from where we live. I was so excited about this sighting I had to share it with you.</div>

There was actually two of these handsome birds feeding in the same area. This one was headed away from the other one. Further out from where we were sitting watching. Obviously he had something. I have often wondered what these ducks eat when they are inland like this. </div>

A lady gave me a pen holder that she made. Such a thoughtful thing to do. The pen I have sketched is the type of pen I like for writing. I draw with it sometimes too but the ink runs when you add water. Sometimes that isn't a bad thing.</div>

Despite all the football I have not been ignoring the changing of the seasons. I love autumn. It is a time of year that I feel like I can totally relax. Enjoy the garden. Chase after migrating birds. When I am out a lot I find the falling leaves captivate my attention. It seems to me that trees always herald the beginning of autumn's shorter days waving flags of colorful shapes and hues.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit8OYA1Pq_2Ev_Esrcq3m0T7O3Qoiz8eT4A4Ka-jh7JxAtnb_r47e_24fJXKDIKj3zyudr8wox1h2i2G4UuxE907YFKlEDqosgD-_gpSXnYg40KhcyMHL1WCi3NlrQGCq-OJixNUQSb2I/s1600/IMG_7090.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit8OYA1Pq_2Ev_Esrcq3m0T7O3Qoiz8eT4A4Ka-jh7JxAtnb_r47e_24fJXKDIKj3zyudr8wox1h2i2G4UuxE907YFKlEDqosgD-_gpSXnYg40KhcyMHL1WCi3NlrQGCq-OJixNUQSb2I/s320/IMG_7090.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

On the leaf below I found a gall. I have no idea what creature inhabited this gall. The leaf was thrown to the ground. I opened the gall and sure enough there were a few tiny, smaller than rice, white wiggly worms. I wonder what sort of tiny beasty this was. One of the mysteries of autumn.</div>

I found a new snack I like. I was cruising the aisles at a World Market and found these crunchy things. I like salty crunchy snacks. </div>

The Bobwhites must have had a decent nesting year despite the floods in early summer and drought in late summer. We are seeing them each time we go birding. Cheery little game birds.</div>

I drew this Lily Vase. It is a bit beat and battered but I think it is still pretty so I keep it. It was given to me by a dear friend. Acrostic Poems are playing peek a boo in my head lately. Another for Blooming Tuesday. </div>

I was up early with the birds this morning. It must be in the air. This delightful dickcissel was singing his heart out the other day while we were birding. Couldn't resist a photo that I later (this morning) sketched. An acrostic poem leapt onto the page too.</div>

There were shadows on the wall with the sun blazing through the tree limbs. I will be having more sofa time what with football beginning soon. This gives me time to think, believe it or not. </div>
