An early implementation of the Total Perspective Vortex

This weekend we had our national birdcount... Somewhere between 150-200 thousand people count their garden birds and report their results. One shocking outcome is the sharply decreasing number of beautiful #GreenFinches like this one...

I don't have time to send individual messages, so please forgive me for resorting to a round robin.

Purple garlic chive flower. The gardener in me is itching to start seeds. But it is too early for our zone 7. #Love #Liebe #ValentinesDay #Romance #Romantic #2023AYearForArt #BuyArtNotCandy #Gardening #herbs #ValentinesDay2023 #AYearForArt #Pink #JanuaryJoy #Art #Artist #LoveArt #IrisRichardsonArtist #ArtCollector #ArtMatters #mastoart #FediGiftShop https://iris-richardson.pixels.com/featured/3-purple-chive-flower-iris-richardson.html

"What big eyes you have!"

Taken in Spain, this is a lovely Collared Pratincole. While it appears to be taking a drink of water, it may also be foraging for waterborne insects.

It was dawn at the Avon Pier on North Carolina's Outer Banks. The sun had not yet reached the horizon but was already casting it's orange glow as the sky began to lighten. Each morning is unique in it's own way!

This soft pastel bird portrait is one of my more whimsical pieces from last year's portfolio. I call it 'Curious Ostrich' because I think it fits the expression on the bird's face.

Birthday cake!

The big cake is blueberry cheesecake. The slices are strawberry cheesecake and blueberry cheesecake. The bakery made a mistake - that slice of blueberry cheesecake was supposed to be a slice of chocolate fudge cake. Alas.

Happy birthday to me!

My birthday lunch was mee goreng. It was good, but not as good as the mee goreng we got at a hole-in-the-wall cafe in Johor Bahru, Malaysia a few blocks from where we lived in 2014-2015. From what I recall, it cost us around USD 2 or 3, so cheap, too. And so so good.
