I never cease to be amazed at the beauty of the bald eagles living in the Northwest.  One day last summer I witnessed a whole group circling over my home.  I knew them by their distinctive call before I even looked up, and at first I only saw two.  But as they continued to drift overhead they were joined by others until there were eight eagles soaring in circles right above me.  I felt so privileged to have shared this moment.

Time of Tall Shadows

It's so nice to have a few sunny days in January.  They create beautiful sunsets.

S is for Snow

 A Painting for the exhibit "Dance" that will accompany WICA's production of, "The Snow Queen".

This might be the Snow Queen.  I was working on a black and white when it so called for color. I decided it would either be purple or red.  Well, you can see which won.
