Petroglyph mural on the top of one wall. It's a reminder of the desert to warm me on cold days.
First piece made in the new shop, a pendant of Verde Antique Marble (collected in the Mojave Desert) in a silver setting. Amazing apple green color!
A nice view from the water shed at low tide today. I believe the tanker is carrying natural gas. Yes, it's raining again, but at least I won't have to water the plants.
Crows everywhere! It's becoming as bad as Hitchcock's The Birds. Below are two, an adult and baby - bet you can't tell which is which.
They are a real nuisance. First they discovered the uncovered trash bins at Wasabi's Restaurant and stuffed garbage in everyone's lawns and gardens. The dogs managed to sniff out what they deposited in our yard to noisy crow protestations. I suppose that is why they caw and harass the dogs soon as they step outdoors. When that source of food dried up the black devils took advantage of the newly mowed fields to hunt dead rodents -- which they stashed in gutters all over the neighborhood. We find rodent and small crab parts in the catch basins under the rain spouts where they dip their food before eating it. Oh, they are very clever and fun to watch but not too popular around here.
