Day 28: Fallen Baby Bird, 14x11"

This is my homage to all of the baby birds that have fallen far from their nests. Even though your lives were short, you made my heart happy and I think of you often.

I came across this photo in a most random way. The photographer said he found this little guy in the middle of the sidewalk. After taking his picture he scooped him up and set him near a tree. Near a tree, huh? I sure hope the tree trunk elevator is in working order today cause that is the only way this dude is getting to the top.

I am not here to judge but the words under this original photo were empty. I can't help but think of what happened to this little guy. Was he scared as he craned his neck to watch the people as they passed by?

Holy moly: One. Day. Left.

Project VII-Day Thirty: Grass

And that is a wrap! Day Thirty's photo was taken at Oliver Nature Park in Mansfield, TX earlier this summer. The labeling of each drawing evolved during the project. In the bottom left-hand corner is the sequence number of the drawing within the 30-day time frame and the location of where the reference photo was taken. My take away from this particular project was having the opportunity to spend more time with a special moment I had in nature. It allowed me to marvel at the intricacies of the plants and animals around us.
