That sucks. It's sad and unfortunate but as Silver King said, it was an accident. It could have been worse.
Aw, nf. That's awful.
That's a tough break, and I understand how bad you must have felt. I realize it's not much consolation, but it was, after all, an accident that you couldn't avoid at the time.
I first read this as "dig out my pants."
Need more coffee...
Yes, and such a talent she displays! I should commission her to paint an osprey scene.Oh, that's beautiful, swachskskisiksiwki!
but it would cut into my writing time
My avatar made it to completion because I was having a good drawing night and the outline was coming out the way I wanted it to for once, so that gave me the encouragement I needed to finish it.
You drew your avatar? Wow. I'm impressed.
I like that idea!You can't just paint SK's birds for yourself, Niffy, you'll need to send him one as payment for inspiring you!!
Additional details can be found here....Investigators are trying to determine how the bird died, but the fragments indicate it was shot...
Very nice work.Yes I did. Thank you. Here's a link to see a few other things I've drawn, and a few photos. There isn't much to see, but I haven't been drawing much lately either.
I think there's a sense of entitlement, of ownership even, that some people perceive in regards to their environment. They don't consider themselves part of the whole but rather as masters of the entire structure that can manipulate life however they please. In their minds, they're not doing anything wrong and are merely exerting their dominance over other creatures....That is tragic news about the osprey, SK. I agree with you, the slimeball needs to be held accountable. I don't get it. What would possess someone to kill such an amazing animal just for kicks? Stoopid hoomins...
Smells like Windex.You are so daring and adventurous! Putting your life at risk in the line of duty... I applaud your bravery.
Those are wonderful photos, btw. *leans up to the monitor to smell the rose.*
You can't just paint SK's birds for yourself, Niffy, you'll need to send him one as payment for inspiring you!! Good luck finding your paints and canvases soon, and I hope your new blood is ... well... doing it's bloody job.
I like that idea!
On a more serious note, there's been another local killing of a bird, this time an osprey: Additional details can be found here.
I can't express how I feel without sounding angry and depressed and profane; so I'll just say that I hope the person responsible is found and made to pay for the senseless slaughter of that osprey.
What's that saying spelunkers have?Speaking of flowers, here's a couple more I took whiletrespassingvisiting the front yards of random homes:
...
During that outing, most residents weren't home at the time. Those who were and saw me were gracious and friendly, except for a couple of characters who acted as if their flowers were too good to be photographed. I took pictures of them anyway and beat a hasty retreat while they dialed 911...
