Birds - The Sunflower Gardeners

Winter's bird feeder feast has blossomed into bird treats for this Fall. They know what they are doing when they flip seeds to the ground. 

This one will surely bloom tomorrow...

Donkeys. And, Where's the Good Camera When You Need It?

Why is it that when you are out and about (like on a bike ride) and come across the most adorable scene that you don't have your good camera with you? So, yesterday morning I relied on my iPhone to capture a sweet Momma and baby donkey.

Today, I stopped back with my good camera, captured the sweet Momma and baby again....and a few other cuties.

All of them will make for great reference photos for an upcoming illustration.
