Art, Were ideas come from

A picture of an eagle coming out of a volcano done with colored pencil and markers. It was a grid box design I did back in 1988 when I used to draw a lot. The original design came from a pellet advertisement for .177 and .22 caliber pellets. I no longer have the ad, but the art remains and is framed, hanging in a place to admire. This image has history for me and some of my ideas. The image I called "Talains erupting", and I got some ridicule for the spelling of talons.  I kept the spelling  the way it was and eventually used it as my gaming name for arcade games and on-line gaming. I still use the name to play with! Eventually I have  used Talain as my blogging name. I believe that Art is were ideas come from, dreams are imagined, reality takes place and persistance pays off.

Blending with its surroundings

High in the tree

An image of a Red-bellied Woodpecker I belive that I took in Late October. It was high in the tree on an over casted day.

A Black-capped Chickadee watching over his buddies at a water hole in the woods, probably waiting his turn.

Buttermilk Falls SPNY, January 19th

The lower fall and the largest one covered with ice, it kind'a looks like a glacier but not as magnificent. Located in the south of Ithaca, New York State.       The upper park falls, I did not walk the gorge trail for it was closed due to hazards conditions. I walked the trail maney years ago and I beleve that their are more falls along the way up/down.
