Teka with the wind in her face.
We have been on the road a lot lately, but it is now time to check in with you all. One weekend not long ago we took the Blitz and Teka to a hunt test in Smith River, California. Go a bit North of Smith River and you’re in Oregon. Here are a few pictures from our travels and a bit of pen and ink.
The cormorants moved like poetry in the surf.
Sailer yard art, you have to love it.
We stayed at a RV park with this ship in the front yard. I thought lumberjacks had big yard art, but I have to admit the sailors win the “BIG” prize.
A pair of cormorants in the surf were my inspiration.
Blitz and Teka on the beach near Brookings, Oregon.
Sitka Spruce cones.
Blitz chills after an exhausting day of events. “Don’t get up Blitz, but I need to get into the refrigerator!”
Mary and Blitz take a stroll on the beach.
Sunset where the Smith River meets the sea.
On the road home and Blitz dreams of ducks.

The boat was definitely an attention getter! Can you imagine what an airline pilot would have for yard art!

Blitz and Teka are beautiful! Looks like a happy time had all around. And, I think Blitz is taking pointers from Teddy, as he tends to get in the way wherever I am trying to go! 🙂

It looks like everyone is having fun, awake and asleep. What were the dogs peering so intently at?
It’s not everyone that has a lawn ornament that big. Is it really a gift shop? I wonder how they got it there. That’s a real oversize load.
The cormorants are lovely.

A good time was had by all. The girls were staring at a stick that had been thrown. That is our way to get them to look all dignified and in the same direction, instead of goofy, which is their normal state.
Best lawn ornament ever I think, and it is a gift shop. Unfortunately, it wasn’t open while we were there so we didn’t get to go inside. I’m not certain how they got it there, but I’m going with tsunami!

Your cormorant drawing is really wonderful – it completely captures that cormorant look, not only the shape they make in the water, but the fierceness & intensity as they fish, too.

Wow, thank you very much! I always hope to capture the moment properly. It doesn’t always happen.
