No Tidbit for two days now:(

- it will be 30 degrees tonight. Hoping he burrowed down to hybernate and that he makes it/we see him again when warmer weather comes round...

I'm sure that's what he's done. He knows it's that time of the year to hunker down until brighter, warmer days return. Sleep well, little Tidbit. :sleepy:

As I recall the earlier pictures, weren't they quite long and irregularly shaped?

You say that like long is a bad thing...

:D
Well, I remember that one picture. The one on the right had to be twice as long as the one on the left.

I don't remember how long the one in the middle was.

Only one thing in the world could've dragged me away from the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window.

Here's a wolf painting I did many moons ago. Since this painting and a huge dragon one I did at around the same time, I haven't painted anything again. I want to give it a go around in the future, maybe paint some of my flower photos.

And a bit closer look at the wolf.

* impatiently checks watch*

It took me a while to choose a variety of scenes to showcase the best bicycle similarities.

Another long series, this one ending in a collision of racers, a careless mishap that I'm sure cray has experienced at least once: ;)

Beautiful painting, Tepelus! The darker foreground is cool...it grounds my attention there, while I'm still aware of the lighter background. The background itself accentuates the wolf. And the details of the coat, muzzle, and paws are awesome.

Loved them all, SK, but these were my personal favorites.

Thank you both for sharing! :)

That's a great collection, SK. Love the last one particularly, but they're all beautiful as is, of course, Tepelus's wolf. You can see the intensity in that puppy.

Beautiful photos again SK! I think herons and egrets are such pretty birds.

Thank you. I was surprised we cross-posted while sharing images, which is unusual in this thread. It's happened to me only one other time, with swachski.

Beautiful painting Tepelus.

Great photos, SK.

A banana dance for you both.

Hey, that's a first!

The audience is always worth the effort, my friend. :)

I've had a hard time lately deciding what to post. I keep changing my mind at the last minute and opting to wait in hopes that others will share their work to help keep the thread interesting. And that tactic has worked pretty well, recently.

One more for the road, a photo I found while searching for a different scene. The blackbird is locked in on the osprey and closing in fast, relentless in his pursuit. It's not a very good photo yet comical to see such a small force of nature drive away a much larger adversary:

well worth the wait, sk.

i'm with haggis,...the last one is favorite even though it doesn't showcase the aero position that you'd see if you were looking at me on my bike or if you were looking at the other pics you posted above. ;)


awesome pics - thank you again. (it can't be said enough)




tepelus - so awesome! amazing talent!
thanks for sharing.

Awesome wolf painting, Tepelus!

Great photos as always, SK. I really like the color in the first one and the collision picture was really amazing. And that little bird is crazy, why doesn't the Osprey turn around and eat it?

Okay, this needs a lot more work done to it, but I thought that swach might find the project I'm working on interesting. I call it Swachski's Roots. :D I know it's not a very good likeness, sometimes my hand doesn't draw what my eyes see. :Shrug: But it's been fun drawing it.

sorry, the lighting in my house is horrible. Anyway, on the right hand side where the little branches are just sticking out will be covered in leaves when I'm done. :D
