Alaskan's Journal

I agree, two birds. But FAST!! As you said, at .25 speed they are still just a blur. Blink and you miss it even at that speed.

Dang! But were they going to kill the deer? Or were those owls just feeling frisky?

My kid #2, drew this in ink of our cockatiel.

I thought cockatiels were warm temp birds... How can it possibly survive up where you are when you don't start using interior heat until the toilet water has an ice cap in the morning? Very talented kid #2 by the way. Nicely done. Difficult to draw so precisely with ink... much easier with pencil.

 

[Alaskan]

Ha!

Yeah. I guess she has gotten used to the cold... but she sleeps in the warmest room of the house.

And thanks about my kid... he is pretty talented..... amazes me since I have close to zilch artistic talent. He took/ is taking 2 college classes this semester. (Not sure if it is nationwide, but here in high school you can take college classes for credit for high school AND college, at a super reduced cost. Kid is a senior in high school this year. The program is called Jump Start.)

Anyway... for this fall he picked an English class, and a technical drawing class... so like drawing bones for an ecological dig.

Crazy how cool the stuff that he has done.

Didn't you know? Artistic talent is linked to a generation skipping gene.

That's great. Dual credit (that's what it's called here) classes are a great way for a kid to get a Jump Start on college. We have students who actually graduate high school with their Associates Degree.

Good deal!! That makes the 4 year degree a WHOLE lot cheaper.
