Emergence at Dawn

 Once again, I find myself without new bird pictures for Wild Bird Wednesday. I don’t fill the bird feeders in the summer, especially since there’s a threat of bird flu. Also, I haven’t been on very many outings because I’m still healing from my fall, although I am definitely improving.

So today, I’m sharing a piece of art that I bid on and won in an auction. I wasn’t expecting to win and was rather surprised by how much it cost to have it shipped to me, but that’s okay because it’s beautiful.

The artist is Amelia Music, a biology major attending Valdosta State University in Georgia. She drew this great blue heron with oil pastels.

This is not the only picture I have of great blue herons. I also have a large painting of two herons ((below). It’s hanging in my living room and I put the new one in the guest room. I now have more pictures than I have space to hang them so I really need to stop buying them.


I’ve noticed before that I have a weakness for pictures with orange in them.

  1. Great pictures - and as they are of wild birds they would be more than welcome at WBW - it was never supposed to only be about photographs!

  2. Join the club - I too have more pictures than wall space, but that doesn’t stop me from buying more!
