I should really save this for like a #TwoForTuesday#birding! 🪶 📸 Gambel's Quail

Backlit and with a Dove in bokeh behind him, a Gambel's Quail wonders that hell I'm doing...it's 102 degrees. Serious.

Pair of Blue Jays that started regular visits a few days ago. They're fairly skittish, and the only reason I was able to get a close-up pic of them is because I happened to be in the garage, and they didn't realize I was there. Beautiful birds... too bad they can be such bullies. #TwoForTuesday🪶🌱

First, apologies for blurry pics that were taken through a dirty garage window. In this pic, two Blue Jays are on the tray of an elevated wooden bird feeder as they chow down on unshelled sunflower seed. Above them is the bottom part of a hanging bird feeder also filled with same seed and where leaves of a Northern Red Oak partially obscure it. In the lower foreground, going from left to right, is an antique seeder with red handles and leaves of a burning bush. In the middle left, and looking like they're hanging above the blue jays are leaves of a Japanese maple. And in the background, on the left, is a partial view of an outbuilding, while on the right is a Norway spruce.
Pretty much same pic except blue jays now are about head-to-head as they retrieve more seed from feeder tray.

🔥⚾️🎨 Two illustrations of manager Charlie "Jolly Cholly" Grimm - 1948's "The Dugout" by Norman Rockwell and a 1954 Braves scorecard (artist unknown). Was the Braves art an homage to Rockwell? #TwoForTuesday#Twosday#BaseballArt#SportsArt#SportsArtist#NormanRockwell#ChicagoCubs#MilwaukeeBraves

#TwoForTuesday#Pumas, 1948 Plaster with paint & coating On display at University of Delaware Museums’ new exhibit “Sight, Sound, and Motion: The Dimensions of Sculpture”

Lithuania, 1889-1966) Pumas, 1948 Plaster with paint and coating Museums Collections, Gift of William Bloom Animals, and particularly cats, were among William Zorach's favorite subjects. This pair of sculptures was inspired by two pumas that lived at the Staten Island Zoo. Zorach studied and drew them for a week in preparation for producing the sculptures. These plaster models were produced to make the molds used to cast the sculptures in bronze. Surface residue and abrasions indicate that these plasters were used in the foundry. Following the casting process, they were returned to Zorach, who painted them to look like bronze. Six bronze casts were created of the pumas, including a pair in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. A related Puma made in Labrador black granite in 1954 was installed in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia in 1962.”
