European stonechat


I've become a birdwatcher, its official! I got really excited yesterday as i walked up the dunes we live on in Perranporth, i spotted what i thought was a bullfinch. So ran home, grabbed my camera and went back to the spot i spied him. (I presume he is a he as he was protecting a female and a nest). I used the zoom lens on my Canon 400D and managed to get loads of shots of the bird, shot home and looked in my book. It wasn't a bullfinch as it had a white patch beneath its black capped head. I went on the web and found a brilliant site www.birdguides.com
(and joined) which showed a local find of a European stonechat. It is a beautiful little bird and really tuneful.

Inspiring tree


I love sitting underneath the tree making my birdhouses and soft birds. Recently a cheeky crow has taken residence in the local area and calls by regualarly, he's really big and looks like a rastafarian with all his feathers and regalia. This inspired me to make a digital soft crow. This is the artwork for it, finished product photos will follow.

Stay Inspired

We are creatures of routine. We have a way of doing things.
Try new. Try different. Try wild. Try unexpected.
Wear black? Try white. Speak Fast? Try slow.
Always wound up? Try to relax. Always down? Be happy, it gets easier.
Normally safe? Take a risk. Like the city? Try the coast.
Try wild. Try the unexpected. Try new.
Stay inspired....
