  • Shrew!

    2005

    This little guy has lived in/under/around our garage for a few years. I’ve spotted him several times hugging the back wall of the studio making his way back to his little hole in the corner of the garage. I think shrews are blind, anyone know for sure? It was neat watching him this morning, collecting seeds that the birds and squirrels have scattered around and hiding them in this little spot, then taking some back with him to the garage.

    And hey! Cool news, I was contacted by a volunteer from the Committee to Restore the Dove Shooting Ban. It looks like one (or two or three) of our Mourning Doves will get to help their campaign. I’m excited to see my photography used for such a good cause!

    I’ll be painting early today, in case you want to check back for webcam status.

    HAPPY FRIDAY!
