What do you do, part 3?
I'm also an art teacher and offer a variety of multi-session online courses in graphite and coloured pencil drawings, usually through McNally Robinson, Booksellers in Winnipeg. 4/5
A photo of a flying robin as view from below sits next to a drawing of the same thing showing how the image was built. A photo of white apple blossoms sits next to a drawing study of the same thing showing how to build the image. A coloured pencil drawing of a bright green luna moth with four of the pencils used to create it.

Good morning, the #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #paddling birds standing or walking in shallow water. The alternate is #yellow birds with any yellow colouring. I’ve went with paddling and this Little Egret. Good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A striking white egret stands gracefully in shallow, dark blue water. Its slender neck is arched elegantly, and the bird’s bright plumage glows in the sunlight, contrasting sharply against the deep, shadowed background. Its reflection is visible in the still water below, creating a serene and minimalist scene.

Revived healthy because of strong interbreeding?!? That's contrary to all we teach and learn.

Around the Pond
I put this shot into LightRoom to edit and fell in love with the colors I saw them melting together, so I adjusted the clarity, texture and contrast to make it so.
It felt like I was creating a beautiful painting. #Photograohy #DigitalArt #PNW #ForestFriday

Rob’s theme for today’s #BirdOfTheDay is #Black (Alternative Robins).

I’ve chosen this silhouetted shot of a Raven in flight.
