“While strolling around my quiet neighbourhood, a quick leaf turn and a speedy little tail told me of the presence of a curious Chipmunk. I knelt down and waited. There she was, peeking through a fallen leaf. She leapt closer and I started to capture frames. / / Her sweet face was delightful. The camera clicks kept her amused, and she decided to get a better view of the noisy device. She climbed up an oak trunk of a warm ochre shade and offered me her best inquiering pose –her coat in perfect camouflage with the oak bark..” / / (Location: Countryside in Lexington, MA, USA) / / Artist statement: My photographs are not enhanced; they represent the true nature and colours of the subjects as captured by the lens.

Nice specimen ready for studies @ UC Riverside! Hoping they will give me alternatives to keep using safe pesticides in my organic garden! The falling leaves here looked and should make her journey soft and comfortable and allow her time to spin a tight web for her ride. The web is so sticky that it was difficult to remove and her sacs are stuck tight right where they are it’s amazing! La Mirada, CA USA

Saw this young man stepping down to cross the sidewalk. Hurried hoping I’d catch him finishing his commute. He is quite skilled and very safe. This major Blvd. here is 45 MPH and it takes a lot of skill for one to make the commute he does every day to his job. Kudos fo you! / Lei H

Black Phoebes / I would like to tell you about phoebes, probably the most likely bird you’ll find feeding at your pond. / Phoebes are insect eating songbirds, members of the flycatcher family. You’ve probably seen them perched on the rocks and foliage near your pond, making little darts over to your pond’s surface and then flying back to just about the same perch. In the West, including Arizona and Texas, they have Black Phoebes. Eastern Phoebes live on the other side of the Rockies and occur only in the eastern 2/3 if the USA and parts of Canada. A third Phoebe, the Say’s, also is found in the West but is much less likely to frequent your pond. I’m most familiar, as a Californian, with the Black Phoebe, but most of this information applies to the Eastern species also. The Black Phoebe has a black head, back, wings and tail with a white belly. Easterns are less dramatically dressed and wear drabber shades of grays and white. Their postures and mannerisms are much the same. All three species engage in a behavior that somehow seems charming and almost like a hello wave to us humans. / Both Black and Eastern Phoebes have a cheerful “fee-bee” call that they give ~20 – 40 times a minute. Common and easily observed, their fondness for our ponds is because they like to catch insects ‘on the wing’ as they rise from the water’s surface or are caught on the surface (Yes, this would include damselflies as they emerge). Typically a Phoebe will visit the pond for 5-10 minutes for several brief sallies for prey into the air above the pond or to glean from the surface. Their diet is almost exclusively insects, but I wouldn’t put it past them to snatch up a mosquito fish fry or two. Their nest is made of mud pellets and plant fibers and lined with grass, hair, and rootlets. They will nest under your eaves in a protected, quiet area if you provide a ledge for them to build upon. Otherwise they prefer to nest under bridges and in old barns. / The Phoebe I captured here was @ the La Mirada Regional Park which has lots of water and places for the Phoebe to enjoy it’s environment. I loved hearing it call and seeing it dart quickly after it’s prey. / I hope you get to see a Phoebe at your pond soon. They are year-long residents. You can encourage them by placing a nesting shelf under your eaves and then providing them privacy if they do nest. Best of luck.

Here is a portrait of an old friend with a real look (it is guaranteed to look great at least once a year forever). / My original etchings from this Sofia plate are in a series of colored inks, but then came iPhoto – this image then is my manipulated photograph of one of those etchings. About the manipulating, I am experimenting with iPhoto and Seaside and using a Sony Alpha DSLR 100 as a capture device. – Copyright © by Edward Huse, 2008, all RR, www.edhuse.com / Some of these pulls, (the actual “real” prints including some hand-colored), are available for sale as well as the great reproductions made available through www.redbubble.com. They of course vary wildly as a result of the variables involved in pulling a print from a plate by hand, but that is one of the reasons that such a print is considered an actual independant and integral work of art in contrast to other prints that are essentially reproductions. / This image is also available through my similar account at www.zazzle as a US Postage Stamp, (When do we get www.redbubble.com Aussie Stamps?!) / [[Aqui una muestra de un grabado del artista, con cambios efectuados en ordenador, vemos a la amiga con su maquillaje impregnable de desde siempre, la bella Sofia. Se ve de inmediato que me fascinan los software de iPhoto i Seaside, la maquina fotografica es un Sony tal como arriba.]] / 2008.
