Shepherdia


Shepherdia

Back in November I was in the park with some friends who recommended to try these berries. The tree looked amazing - very green, bush-like and covered in bright blood-red berries. Rather tasty :)

I think it was Shepherdia argentea

Jan. 15, 2010: Hidden Villa - New Piglets

New piglets in Hidden Villa. Tiny, very fragile. Some are sleeping. Some are huddling. Some are eating. And a very tired mom :)

Happy New Year!

Jan. 1, 2011: Hidden Villa - Persimmon Tree

We heard this tree before we saw it - lots of crows were fighting and feasting on it. When we approached large birds ran away - and immediately a flock of small birds took their place :) Lots of half-eaten, very bright persimmons on a grayish day, wonderful songs of a happy little birds. Great way to start a year!

Wishing you all the best :)

Visiting Pigs in Hidden Villa

December 11, 2010: Hidden Villa

I had a wonderful opportunity to sketch a whole family of pigs this weekend :) I am not entirely sure about the relationship but there were two mothers, father, 11 almost newborns and a couple of pre-teens.
