Snow "birds"

This is our living room with the luggage being assembled for our trip to Brasil Feb 27 thru Mar 15.  We go a little further than Gary and Pat!!  The feeders that follow are out the rock feature window, straight ahead.

Out our cathedral window we have two bird feeders which were jammed during the snow and ice storm.

A "close up" on the red feeder.

A cardinal waiting for the others to kick out some sunflower seeds.

Full house at the other feeder.  They empty these almost daily when the weather gets bad.  The lake side has been "slow" recently.  Only a couple of ducks.  No eagles, No Herons.

More of Larry's work

A request for merekats gave "rise" to mere cats!!

He is still working on a good design of the former kats.

Larry's Puzzle and Animal Art

Carol's brother, Larry, has the same genetic back problems that she has.  He spends time in short bursts making jig saw art works and workable puzzles.  This is a STAR cut out of soft maple and then painted.

This is a wizard (who I can't get to stand up straight!!) made out of soft maple.

This is an apple with the teachers name on the stem and students names on the pieces with a couple not labeled in case new students arrive.  It was given to his grandchild's class in Wichita area.

A tree frog made out of Amazonian Rosewood.

This shot was supposed to show the frog "standing" on front legs, but this frog can do a wall press and hold its body perpendicular to the wall!!!!!
