Backyard Owl Watching




 my favourite! silly swing in the way.


Hello!
You have no idea how ecstatic I am to have owls in my backyard every evening! Today they were sleeping in a nearby tree all day, so we could go over and peek at them. It is official we have a Mom and 4 babies, named Sarah, Percy, Bill, and Ted (from the book Owl Babies and the movie Bill and Ted).
Enjoy the pictures! I enjoy taking them!

Makeover!



Hello,
This is a repaint job that I did for my Mom. We found this cement sculpture on kijiji, brought him home, and gave him a make over! He certainly looks better now!
Enjoy!

Watercolour Ponies


Hello again!
These are a couple horse pieces that I have done in the past couple days. I love drawing and painting horses, it is nice to get back to them! The top one is done with pen and ink, and the bottom one is painted with watercolours. I used reference from pictures I found online. Enjoy!

Our Resident Owls

Hello!
Our Eastern Screech Owls have been seen nightly! My Mom is very excited! So is our friend, Tiffanie (http://birdsinmybackyardandbeyond.blogspot.ca/) We had a great time last night looking at our 5 owls, 4 raccoons (one adult and three babies), and a katydid! Enjoy the pictures!

Owls in the Backyard

Hello!
I took these pictures Friday night. I was home alone and saw them flying around in my backyard. There have been about 3 or 4 of them, parents teaching the young ones to fly. My whole family saw them again last night! They are Eastern Screech Owls.
Thank you for looking!

Historical

Hello again!
These are from my family outing at Greenfield Village. It was a lot of fun, lots of old buildings and and rides on the train, model Ts, and horse drawn carriages! I put a small description underneath the photos, and put some under the cut again. Thank you for looking!

Day with the Horses

Hello again!
This post is a lot of horse photos, so I put some under the cut. These were taken at our church picnic on Sunday, where I spent most of the time with the horses and chasing snakes! It was a fun time though!
On Monday we went to Greenfield Village, and I took a lot of photos, so stay tuned!
Thank you for looking! Click for more horse photos!
