Sketchbook Project 2011 pages 2 and 3

sketchbook project 2011 pages 2 and 3


I wrote the poem in 1999.  The sketch was done this past summer in 2010.  They both seemed to fit well together so I've married them here in my sketchbook.

I am finally getting around to scanning all the pages.  I bought a new all in one printer/scanner just for this purpose.  Woo Hoo!  The book is pretty thick so some of the pages won't lie flat.   As I've stitched and reinforced the pages pretty well, taking the book apart now is not an option.   I've decided to do most of the pages that I like a second time, so that I'll have an original for myself.  Granted the second ones won't be exactly the same, but I'll still have something to keep.

bird watching and staying home for the summer

Usually summer means several bicycle-camping trips, but with COVID19 still around, we are staying home. In the meantime, I have been pretty productive with my 100 Self Portraits project. Watching the birds that come to the bird feeders has been my daily dose of joy. fledgling House Finch  Chestnut- backed Chickadee Dark-Eyed Oregon Junco Usually summer means several bicycle-camping trips, but with COVID19 still around, we are staying home.

Married Shadows

My husband and I haven't had a T.V. for the last 15 years, maybe more, so we often go to see movies at the Cinema. The last couple of ones that I've enjoyed have been Transformers II and Terminator IV. Two more of my favorites are Slumdog Millionare and Milk. These latter two were well done movies from all angles (acting, script, cinematography). This is us after an afternoon at the movies and eating out. We had just come from Starbucks and were heading to the train station. For more shadow shots and to learn how to join this Meme, please visit Hey Harriet's blog .
