Midwest Weather
Yesterday, I rode through a fairly nasty midwestern storm. I’ve been through much worse, but the ominous looking sky gave me good reason to take pictures of it from my phone. The first picture is from this morning, post storm.
You can’t see it because I, of course, did not have my camera with my zoom lens, but there is a coyote looking at me from the bend in the road in the center of the picture. I went for an impromptu morning coffee drinking country drive and we crossed paths, and I rolled my window down and whistled and he stopped and we looked at each other for a minute and then both went on our ways. I don’t know if it is because there was a storm yesterday or because it is just a beautiful morning, but I saw SO MANY different birds out scouting around, including a hawk carrying off his live breakfast of some sort of small rodent. I felt a little sorry for whatever it was. Anyway, here are some storm pictures from my phone:
After the storm rolled through, the night sky was incredibly beautiful and clear, and I could see the entire moon, although only a crescent of it was lit up.

Art Walk/ Art In The Park Recap
Last weekend was the Atchison Art Walk on Friday and Art In The Park on Sunday. It took me a few days to recover from having to use muscles I haven’t used in awhile to set up my display and standing in the cold temps all day on Sunday, but both events were a total success. I was even awarded an honorable mention ribbon at Art In The Park, which was celebrating their 50th Anniversary and had 150 artists displaying their work. Here’s a couple shots:

Redbird
We’ve been observing each other as he’s been hanging around my backyard for a few days. I always recognize his chirp and can rely on finding him out the door when I hear it.
Cat – Cut Paper Art
11 x 14 inch paper cutting.
Polyphemus Moth
This furry fella was perched on the back door and when I tried to first photograph him, he dropped into the bushes (which actually made for a better photo opportunity).. Until the cat came and chased it away. Luckily I had my camera near and got to it in time. In the last couple weeks, my lack of having said camera nearby made me miss photo opportunities of one coyote, 2 different foxes, a pheasant, and a barred owl. Learning my lesson to never leave home without it…
