Birds of Paradise

 

Several weeks ago, I injured my right hand in a surfing accident. The bruise covered the front of my hand and went all they way through to my palm. Luckily, nothing was broken. But for a long time, I could only use my pointer finger and thumb. Thank goodness, that's all I need to use a computer mouse, so work continued. But in my down time, I couldn't surf or play my cello. So I made these birds. It was fun to just cut away with little kid scissors, mix colors, paint and be messy just with one finger and a thumb.

Spring Really is in the Air

Even here in Hawaii, there are signs of spring. More subtle, but still perceptible. The breeze has a slight coolness. In late morning, the air holds the promise of an afternoon rain shower. And because of these showers, there's a fresh bloom of green everywhere, a little lighter, a little brighter. As I type, the birds are celebrating the new season with a lot of chatter and song. In one day, two little birds, too eager to fly, ended up on the garage floor. Luckily Mike rescued each before the puppy and the cat could get to them.
