/ “The Sentinels” is part of the Winter Collection... we barricade our doors and guard our lives every day, but storms come and go regardless of locks…so we pray for the sun, and cry relief relief!! Watercolour on Fabriano Artistico Hot Pressed Paper..Home Page Feature Natures Wonders, Everything Winter features, plus five more…... They stand as sentinels against azure storms / Assured as most storms of life, it’s supposed / Although bared of dress, although naked as jays, / Winter’s trees umbrella from worst those / Emptied of warmth.. why stand themselves here? / None rest beneath, cold is this grayness / Determined, enduring Hail’s hiss, they stay / Limbs upturned, beg the sun from her shyness… / These brown-barked sentinels recall blue-green days before / With soft nests of down in lofty leaved reaches / Where bodies under there sparkled in prisms / When leaf-scattered-light danced on now barren benches.. / They stand as sentinels against azure storms ...Barbara Attaway / /

This is the spring counterpart to my other Barred owl called Winter’s watchman Taken in the same general area in April 2005. You can tell he was just in the swampy water below, either bathing or chasing after a snake to eat, by the wetness present on his feathers.

Tiny planet with huge lighthouse and grassy field
I discovered Gotta Rock, just outside Coolah, completely by accident. I have family in central New South Wales and have spent my life driving about the place. On one trip, suddenly I spotted this brilliant outcrop, right next to the road. This is the second painting (see “The Big Sleep) based on a re-imagining of the real place. I wanted to give it a brooding, even malevolent presence.
day by day the elements wither away at the rocks…yet occasionally the process is overpowered by another one of nature’s spectacles – a brilliantly pastel painted sky.

Carlsbad Caverns again.
So when I travel to parks I generally like to find a hard walk that takes me to a mountain top for a spectacular view. However, with a new baby in tow I’ve become a little more conservative. No scrambling up uncertain paths for me. And that’s more than okay because it helps me to stop and enjoy what I have rather than what is just out of reach. In a recent trip to Yosemite I came across this great little ‘beach’ a short walk off the road … I sat down here and soaked in the glory of our planet and watched my little baby girl frolic on the beach … well actually I watched her pick up everything she could lay hands on an try to eat it … including a rather large rock … Anyway, I think the view from the bottom can be every bit as good as the view from the top … and I’m going to have to get more used to it!
This is a wild crow that I handfeed on my back deck. Every year she has babies with her partner. Last year they had 3 and were quite worn out when they finally left home. At the moment they are feeding their new babies but they won’t bring them to me for another couple of weeks. The babies come to trust me very quickly. I have an affinity with birds.
I did very little alterations to this image as I like it just the way it came out.

This is an infrared shot. It was a very overcast day – not much blue sky about at all so I tried something a little different with this one. / Hope you like it.
