A special thanks to David, Brian and Julian for donating to the Great Cycling Challenge to help kick children's cancer in the butt. Well done.
I finally decided to try stone carving again. I purchased a nice 25 pound piece of agata alabaster and plan to carve a breaking wave. Unlike wood carving if my tremors get the best of me I'll probably just bash a finger with the mallet rather than cutting it off with a sharp gouge. Anyway, that's the plan. I miss the art supply store in Athens that carried stone. The shipping on the stone cost almost as much as the stone.
I was planning on having some non-bird photos like flowers or spiders this week but the only new things around here are mushrooms. I like photographing mushrooms but if step out the door I'm in a cloud of mosquitoes from all the rain we've had. Even the clip-on mosquito repellent doesn't help. The two photos are of a titmouse and a chickadee.
enjoy
