Steel City Blues - bluebells in Ecclesall Woods, Sheffield. Thisis my main piece for the upcoming Into the Woods exhibition at the Woodland Discovery Centre there, 3-8 Nov. I will share more about this show which features work by 9 @peakdistrictartisans […] [Original post on mastoart.social]

Stitched artwork depicting bluebells in woodland. Several tree trunks and foliage are visible with both shaded and sunlit undergrowth beyond. A swathe of bluebells is under the trees and dotting the foreground grass. A few large leaks are in the foreground as the scene is viewed through some small saplings

Boatmobile found 5 dark ibises late yesterday. By the time I got there they had retreated deep into the wetlands and out of view. This morning I looked at the map and decided to be at the Usual Patch by daybreak. Turned out I didn't have to worry about them […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I'm pretty sure this one is a White-faced Ibis. They are hard to ID even on a good day! All ibises are vagrant in our region. White and Glossy flyovers are not unheard of, but White-faced may be a first! This one has red eyes and a small red patch near the base of the bill. Huntley Meadows Park, Hybla Valley, VA

This one is definitely a White-faced Ibis, and not a juvenile. The red under the wing and red legs are apparent, as is the red eye. It is a vagrant bird! Is this the same bird as the other? That I'm not sure. Huntley Meadows Park, Hybla Valley, VA

I finished a load of #pottery yesterday, including these two lamp bases. I love the way they came out: one funky little Earth Tone lamp for a desk or nightstand and the other more subtle but still highly decorative. They’re at the lamp shop getting wired.

A collection of decorative pottery pieces displayed on a worktable. The foreground features two lamp bases: a small, round form with intricate patterns in dark orange, brown, and light green triangles, and a taller, form with a textured surface, a light blue diamond pattern and a tall light blue neck with rings.
