Hello, kids!
Things are wild and woolly in my world so
let's just get down to it! (Yes, I am a day late and a dollar
short...AGAIN.)
First of all, Happy Birthday to my nephew
Nathan! You are one amazing human - grandson, son, nephew, husband, father - I
look forward to watching the rest of your life unfold and I wish you many more
wonderful years on the planet.
Next, a hearty thank you goes out to the
great folks of Glendive for the warm reception last weekend at The
Gallery. My show is now posted online and you can view it here: http://www.dcaugallery.org/apr2013.html
(Marge, Em....I knew you'd appreciate this!)
Along with my show, The Gallery is also
hosting the 34th Annual SE Montana Traveling Art Show, sponsored by the Custer
County Art and Heritage Center. You can view that show here: http://www.dcaugallery.org/semt2013.html
Both shows will remain until the end of April, so if you get a chance, stop and
shop in Glendive at The Gallery, 109 N Main.
The Gallery also has unique gifts such as
silverware jewelry and accessories. You can see what I mean by visiting that
artists etsy store here: www.erinschock.etsy.com
Lastly, I will be in Glasgow TOMORROW,
from 9-3 at the Valley Event Center. It is not only the annual Walleye's
Bazaar, held in conjunction with their banquet and awards night but THIS year,
it is the STATE Walleye's Unlimited Banquet! According to the event organizer,
there are over 55 folks coming and I will be one of them. If this year is
anything like last year, it's a DO NOT MISS event. I was fortunate enough to be
situated next to Kent Moorehouse, a talented taxidermist, who had full size
mounts on display. Luckily, I was also near the Apple Trolley, making it easy
for me to get my fix of chocolate covered strawberries and their famous apples,
dipped in (my favorite) chocolate, caramel and nuts. Bobbie Britzman was also
nearby with her handmade, colorful tutus and head bands for the little ones and
I expect to see all those folks and many more. The weather is supposed to be
icky in NE Montana tomorrow so why not spend your day with us, inside the Event
Center? Come out, see my newest pieces, sign up to win (yes, I am giving away
some items) eat, drink and be merry!
And now....on to the
report!
You CAN'T see me!
(We've been watching three young
raccoons, fresh from hibernation, in search of food. We watched three baby
coons last year and wonder if this is them? Their personalities are
distinct....this is "shy guy" - and once up the tree, it froze, never twitching
a muscle. Look at that hind leg! It made my leg ache just watching it. Those
of you who know me or who have been a subscriber for a time, know that I am fond
of raccoons, the mischievous, destructive little devils that they are because:
we had a baby raccoon when I was a kid and after having taken a baby raccoon and
two kittens to bed with you every night...you do develop an affinity for
them!)
PEEK!
(And this is what the OTHER side of the
tree looks like....again, frozen. Loner and Leader had already moved on but Shy
Guy.....remained. Shy Guy follows leader ALWAYS. Loner does as he pleases but
the other two are TIGHT. I watched them with binoculars this morning, same as
always....Loner...off doing his thing and Leader and Shy Guy, never far
apart.)
MUCH melting went on last week.
Ordinarily dry ditches were running streams!
Goose Lane?
Field of ice. (Which
melted)
Dear National Weather
Service,
I have found your weather balloon.
It is at about mile marker 293 on the
highway between Glendive and Circle. Look North and you can't miss
it.
Sincerely,
Kittywhohasfoundtwoweatherballoonsinthepastfewyearsalthoughsadlyshecan'treachthisonetoretrieveitandsenditintoyou
Looking East. (Glendive, I have fallen
in love with your Bell Street Bridge. If there was any way I could be there for
your "Dinner on the Bell Street Bridge" this summer, you can rest assured I
would! What a NEAT event!)
"Painted Sky".
(Dear Mother
Nature,
Thank you for the colors you placed in
the sky, when I was shooting the Bell Street Bridge. They were
SPECTACULAR!
Sincerely,
Kittywholovesyourwork)
Spans aplenty!
Bleach job.
Windshield time. (Yes, you got it. 70
mph.)
Prairie pond.
Conglomeration. (Makes me want to peek
in the window!)
Do they STILL sell
tires and batteries?
Days gone by...
Aglow. (A big thank you goes out to
farmers who's efforts feed the wildlife in this world.)
Sparsity.
A closer look.
POP of color.
My color starved senses fed upon this
willow, bright against the clean, white snow.
Missouri River Waterfall. Huh?
(Upon investigating, I found many
waterfalls, running fast and dirty, eroding the river bank. All that melting
snow must go somewhere, right?)
And overhead, geese and ducks by the
drove! These geese, just part of a larger group of Canadians returned from
South.
Textures.
Suicide
doors
I LOVE these door handles! I don't even
know why....
Bed on board.
"Spring" view.
"Face" time.
Treeline.
