She made that? That's fantastic. I don't suppose there's a higher res scan. And what happened to that story?

She's been writing it on and off most of her life. I transcribed a good deal of it. Not sure she'll do anything with it. As for the map it's a little too big to scan.

Is she close to finished? Is she interested in self publishing?

From the stuff I've transcribed for her, what she has can be broken into a series of books- if I could convince her to actually work more on it. But I can't convince her to writing down her experiences as a photographer in the 60s.

That's really a shame. I'm sure she has great stories to tell, and that should be remembered.

Wow, those are beautiful. The sky is perfectly set off by the silhouettes of the bare trees.
Thank you. :) Yep, as cold as it gets, for really cool (no pun intended) evening shots, this is the best time of year. :yes:

I can see the Pileated woodpecker! We had one visit here last year. I know they are destructive, but I am hoping it comes back and makes a home here. :)

This woodpecker usually goes after bugs living in dead trees. Have you seen them hurt living trees?

They're all "image" now for me, too. Looks like Facebook expired them again.

It's just so much easier to link to Facebook than mess with an image site.

Maddie couldn't see my three big pics of Richmond birds and they were linked to Facebook images. Who knows what's going on :shrug:
