It sounds like other areas got a true snow storm.<br /><br />I tried a sketch of the sparrows, and a few juncos, feeding at our backyard feeders but the results leave something to be desired.<br /><br />The big question is whether or not our 8-10' 'Torch' tithonias lost their flower buds or not.

The birds, including a family of English sparrows, have collected on the picnic table where I feed them eating furiously. You have captured that species' attitude exactly. The washy look to the sketches is charming. Enjoy the rare October snow, even if the birds do not!<br /><br />Yours,<br />NaninaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
