A couple of little ditties as I set up for another project. The first one, “The Grotto,” is from my friend and explorer, Darryl. He took this at Acadia National Park in Maine.

The second one is a try at three-dimensional work. “The Bluebird Nest.” I took a photo of the nest on a walk around our Arboretum area with a resident naturalist. I thought it was a robin’s nest, but he corrected me…it’s a bluebird nest. The eggs and color underneath are in pastel and the twigs and leaf are from around my neighborhood.
