I carved this crow image based on the photo I took a few weeks ago. I used The Gimp to turn the photo into an image I could carve. I’ve always wanted a turn-photo-into-soft-block-carving filter, and the new photocopy filter provided with Gimp 2.2 comes close.
I found this great photo resource, PD Photo – Public Domain Photos, via Aisling’s Creative Adventures. The photographer, Jon Sullivan, provides high resolution versions of his photos, which increases the ways you can use them. I am using his photo of the Zion Narrows as a desktop background.
One of a storytelling of crows that I saw yesterday on my walk.
Taken by Cottonwood Creek this afternoon
This rather disgruntled looking bird was sitting in the tree outside our kitchen window this morning. It was difficult to get the shot without falling into the sink.
As forecast, we woke up to snow. I don’t think we will get much accumulation today, but it should provide a little much needed moisture.
