Winter Scene, Evening – Ink on a watercolour Moleskine
The temperature is about -4C in this scene which is almost tropical compared with the overnight low of -8C. This group of trees is well known, locally, for many badger sets but the clever wee devils are probably fast asleep, well underground. The doctors say I will probably regain the feeling in my legs in a few weeks when all of this snow will be a distant memory.

It seems every day you’ve done something I like. This whole blog is like that. Instead of elephant jokes for the day I check out this site. This is good.

I thought, isn’t Bob creative, red squirrels instead of cardinals. Then I realized there may be “wee” red squirrels somewhere in the world. I found a digital camera that’s inexpensive. So after Christmas…You remind me of Winston Churchill. Who went around painting a lot. He was quite good.
