What these birds doing?

They were perched in the high branches of these tall trees, many of them with their wings spread wide. There is no sun for them to be getting any warmth from, just overcast daylight. There were several doing this, flying off again and then coming back to do the same again. I think they are crows or ravens, though at first I thought they might be bald eagles.

Any ideas anyone?

Bare branches of the tops of trees with four large birds on them. Three of the birds have their wings spread wide open as though flying, though they are perched.

Karlsruhe Castle at night - before the renovations

Since I took this image in 2010, the castle grounds have been renovated and the fountain no longer exists. All of the landscaping in front of the castle has been changed. This was taken at 10 pm and just after I took the shots, the fountain was turned off for the last time and all of the lights went out.

In the foreground is the pool of water with a fountain spraying above it. It is a night scene and there are lights reflected in the pool and illuminating the fountain water droplets. There is a large castle in the middle ground, with a turret on either end. It is fully lit and the sky is black above it

"The Sisters" - Lake Kejimkujik - temperature -14° C all day.
plus a wind!

This photograph was taken on a day when the temperature was bitingly cold, with a bitter wind blowing. I had to keep my camera batteries in my underwear. It was so beautiful that I hardly noticed the cold, though and didn't stop until the light failed. The lake was frozen solid and was constantly creaking and groaning, sending eerie sounds through the wind.

A cold feeling almost monochrome scene, showing a frozen lake surface stretching towards three separate small islands across the frame with evergreen trees growing on them. The third island is at the right edge of the frame. There is a wind blowing, causing the frozen surface of the lake to be partly obscured by drifting snow. Beyond the islands are hills through the clouds of blowing snow.

This is the first box that I've turned in what seems like a really long time. It was an order from a collector in the US who asked me to make a box for him that got me to pick up my tools and get into the shop. I have been turning, just not creating. And for artists, the act of creation is vital as without it you find yourself losing motivation and joy in your work and your life as this is such an integral part of it. This is where I found myself. Circumstances have been so limiting lately for so many of us and mine have made it very difficult to devote the time and focus to see my way out of the emotional darkness that can overtake us all. I just wasn't feeling it, which made it worse.

So, thanks to this email out of the blue from down South, I have found the desire to be once again making, with new ideas and the excitement to get back in my studio. This simple beaded box is African Blackwood, which you will know is my favourite for boxes, lined with a lovely warm golden Thuya burl and decorated with a surface embellishment of texturing and a subtle red tint on the textured areas.

This box is part of my Turned Art Gallery you can view here: stevenkennard.com/blog/skgalle

Fox News
We’ve had a busy spring and early summer and I want to share some photos of the family of foxes we have living with us on our property. The litter must have been born in the bushes or woods close to our house, and in the past few weeks we have been watching the young ones enjoying life, playing and tumbling around like all young animals do - see the rest of the post on my blog here …,
