Angelic Raven. No photoshop weirdness here, just a ridiculously slow shutter speed. 🤘

I usually don't post twice in one day, but I've been so excited about finishing this woodcut and showing it off: Ladies and Gentlemen----my latest woodcut: CARDINALS!!!!

It's a 6x12 woodcut on 8x15" paper--and there are only 18 in this edition. If you'd like to add one of these to your art collection (and support my work) I am taking orders on my website starting now.

Wishing a Happy Halloween to those who celebrate!

Great grey shrike.

I've been spending too much time at my desk and not enough time out looking at birds. It was good to see this warbler a little while ago.

Bon, on va dire que c’est fini jusqu’à ce que j’ai l’occasion de le montrer à la personne qui me l’a commandé.
Un jour je ferai une BD pour expliquer comment j’ai fini avec cette foutue commande

I tapped into some corvid-loving part of Mastodon yesterday that I was unaware of. My story of trying to make a crow-friend and not-so-clear photo of a crow got more interest than even my cats. And people freakin’ love cats!

Greetings to any fellow lovers of corvids out there!
Here’s a picture of a raven my partner got to hang out with while waiting for a bus last winter. I was extremely jealous.

For #worldphotographyday I'm sharing one of the best photos I've ever captured.

I was watching this great blue heron fish in the tailrace area, and noticed how the waves were raging around the heron. I raised my shutter speed to capture the waves and came out with this amazing photo!
