This summer I was able to spend a little time observing and photographing some wild horses in North Dakota. Here is a drawing that has come out of that observation. I really liked the flowing lines of the two horses interacting, so I left it as more of a drawing rather than a full-fledged painting.

We were bestowed a gift from Mother Nature with a visit from an owl the other morning. There he sat on the back deck when we got up around 5:30 am., alternately dozing and looking around, (all the way around, as you know! So fun to watch...) He did not seem in the least bothered as I took photos through the windows. I don't know a thing about owls, but I had a feeling that he was a young one. He hung around till mid morning, then flew off to greener pastures, I suppose. Haven't seen him since...
