spring is in the air...

A quick little pencil sketch on canvas paper...

two little love birds (in acrylic paints & micron pens)...

and a curly breeze,

welcoming spring like open arms.

This morning, I took another beautiful walk and since it was low tide,

i made my way towards the seashore.

There's something about the sound

of chirping birds

that just makes my day.

As i walked on the frozen sand

and admired the calm waters,

I stopped for a bit,

to listen to the birds and

watch a few soaring seagulls.

(yes, seagulls soar too, along with the eagles...)

Just then, i heard a sound somewhere behind me

and when i turned around

there stood 3 deer,

watching me.

I've seen many wild animals during my morning walks.

Deer, coyote, pheasants, racoons, eagles, and last winter, a moose.

When i saw the moose in the dead of January,

he was crossing the frozen ice to the other side.

He was quite a distance from me

but still, I turned around

and headed for home. :-)

I love wildlife but the size of a moose

scares me.

I didn't have my camera with me this morning,

but i did have it a while ago

during another morning walk

and took these deer tracks...

a common sight now on the sand.

I somehow think i would just go numb

if i lived in a big, concrete city.

I know there are lots of perks about the city,

but i doubt i'd find them

because i'd be too busy 

looking for trees and the ocean.

Go figure.
