Winter, 2013

I've never really liked the term "Snowbird" but when I left my camp and studio in Rangleley, ME  yesterday for Florida thats pretty much what I felt like.  I had just fed the chickadees and the nuthatches, turned off the water and the power in the camp and shoveled out.  I had a wonderful holiday season in Rangeley with family and friends.... but after 4 feet of snow I was ready to head south.  

First stop...MA.  I only got to Andover, MA yesterday... greeted warmly by friends...and  by another foot of snow!

But I got out this morning, inching south listening to Pete Townshend's "Who I AM"... hoping to get to PA before dark.    I made it OK and now it looks like it will be clear flying south on the Atlantic Flyway.

FYI, I've just finished up some new paintings to introduce in Florida!
