Today was one of those days where the objects I found really directed the figure I made. I came across the broken passifier and baby rattle and wondered what our star would look like personified as an infant? It is afterall almost summer. I used pieces of bark to frame the head. The eyes and nose are fishing bobbers and I’ve imbedded a yellow light into its body. The bottoms of aluminum cans form the ears.
Butterflies are starting to appear in greater numbers and diversity. This is a Silver-spotted Skipper sunning itself. Today I also saw Red Admirals and a Red-spotted Purple.
I had one opportunity to photograph this Yellow Warbler and here is the result. The restless nature of warblers makes them challenging subjects, but when you get a good image it makes your day. About an hour later we had a pretty good thunder shower…I’m more concerned about keeping the camera dry than if I get wet. I left the Sun figure behind and thought it was one of the stranger ones I have made recently. I’ll close with a detail of this odd image.
