|| Humming Along ||

I love these little ones; they are so colorful and picturesque. I got this one with a fairly sub-standard lens (Nikon 70 - 300 - amiright?), but it came out good enough for the inter-webs. I mean I've taken some okay shots with it in the past, but the best it's produced were truly only okay (a little too soft and sometimes misses focus all together).

Anyway, I always get the Anna's and Alien's hummingbirds mixed up, so I'll let you folks decide which one it is 😁.

Anna Ancher - A field sermon, 1903, oil on canvas

Anna Ancher - Seated Woman from Skagen Figure Study for A Field Sermon, oil on canvas

Anna Ancher (née Brøndum; 1859 – 1935) was a Danish visual artist who worked with oil and pastel. Anna was born and raised in the remote fishing settlement of Skagen, the northernmost part of Denmark. Anna integrated the training and influences she had acquired while abroad with the local subjects and scenery of Skagen. Anna was masterful in observing natural light and made bold choices in colour. She experimented with the simplification of subjects and backgrounds, and the integration of shadows and reflected light. She drew and painted the local people in their homes, gardens and places of work. Her friendships and familiarity with the locals enabled an intamacy to shine through her works.

Artist Fills Forest with Life-Size Sculptures Made from Woven Rods of Willow

[lilymaidofgallifrey]

I decided it would be a great idea to go on a 20km today(12.5 miles for my American friends) and oh wow do my muscles hurt. It was a very beautiful track though, and I got to ride through an abandoned train tunnel and put my feet in an icy mountain stream.

Life-Size Woven Sculptures Into The Forests by Anna & the Willow

Anna & the Willow: Website | Facebook | Instagram

The ancient art of basket weaving is believed to be one of the widest spread crafts in the history of human civilization. The process involves weaving pliable, natural materials together to create a variety of useful forms and vessels. Inspired by the craft, a British sculptor known as Anna & the Willow has put a contemporary twist on this…

I really quite enjoy birding and wildlife photography as well.

It's been a while since I've made it out to one of my favorite spots for this, and I'm looking good forward to getting back here real soon.

Pictured are Cormorants, Snowy Egrets, and an Anna's Hummingbird, but this location also has a number of birds of prey including a breeding pair of Osprey, Ground Owls, Red Tailed, and Shouldered, Hawks, and even Peregrine Falcons on occasion.
