A bit of color

Blue Grosbeak




Painted Bunting










All of these are from the Javelina Ranch, a different blind than the one I was using when I photographed the crested caracaras, that is right on a resaca, except for the first painted bunting which is from the Weaver Ranch. There is an old working windmill at the Javelina Ranch blind, where I shot these grosbeaks and buntings, that actually pumps water into the resaca to keep water there; otherwise, it would just dry up I think.

3. Oh, I just can't stand it. We have already talked about painted buntings, and that

I have a stylized version serigraph of them by Charles Harper. I revel in all of them, but the last one is the most HUGE to me. I may need to do something with that image, meaning, paint it, or make a screen print of my own (I do those things at times).
That's how beautiful it is to me. And the top two blue ones....well, I have to get used to that they even exist. Absolutely glowing.

6. Do what you like with it.

I have a few more painted buntings that I will share. Actually it is the same one as it took a bath.
