Moose and Swans

MY new ink piece is inspired by an Alaskan scene of a Moose in shallow water while two beautiful Trumpeter Swans swim nearby. *************************************************************************************** Today was a hot day but we braved a 2 hour hike through the woods and along the bayou watching deer run through the prairie grass. ************************************************************************************* The tiger swallowtail butterflies and bright red cardinals were plentiful along the trails. *************************************************************************************** Out on the slow moving bayou we encountered a gorgeous large Osprey, perched on a dead tree in the middle of a bend in the bayou. Many egrets and herons were active along the banks but nothing disturbed the big fish seeking predator. We waiting to see him fly or go hunting but he was perfectly at home on his branch surveying the bayou and refused to take wing for us. ************************************************************************************* Enjoy the Hot Texas summer as best you can. I'll continue with art and writing and staying close to nature. Until next time, see you. Thank everyone who takes the time out for art. ******************************************************************************** Doug Hiser
