Winter rolls in. Hearts roost in leafless trees in the late-light early morning, winds 15-17mph out of the northeast. Hardship forms a bond.

It snowed all day and at high noon the sky is leaden and icy. Hearts huddle on the power lines to stay warm. They hear the traffic signals switch and see the cars flow beneath them.

Cat with a string.

Hearts travel together while migrating, safety in numbers, ya know.

Hearts fly high and in a Vee as they wing northward to the warm summer waters.

This cone is a lot larger and harder that most of the ponderosa cones I’ve painted. We found it in Southern California. I wonder if I identified it correctly although in searching for visual info on it, it most likely resembles the ponderosas. I may have to re-title it someday if I find it’s a different species.

Cat looking up, at what?

We were in Chicago the weekend after Thanksgiving, stayed a couple nights on Michigan Ave. Perfect fall/winter weather, wet and cool but not windy. Spent the day at the Art Institute, dinner at Berghoff’s. And walking, lovely lights and reflections. I love Chicago, wish I had a good reason to live there.

Meow.

I really like pine cones, there’s such variety across the various species. I like these for the shape of their seed scales, a wonderful drop-like curve.

At dusk, hearts fly home to roost with their flocks.

In mid-autumn, the Raquette River in New York’s Adirondack Park start to freeze at the edges. The river still rushes on down the rock towards Long Lake in Hamilton County, icing the banks with its spray.

Perched and curious.
