The Crow
On the second day of the art challenge, I felt compelled to pull out paper and pencil to draw my newest obsession: the crow. I know that some consider the crow to be a "pest". How ridiculous. These birds are incredibly smart, and over the years they have developed ingenious means to feed themselves. They use makeshift tools to pry out their food; or they will sometimes drop a a nut from just so up in the sky and wait for a passing vehicle to pop open the recalcitrant nut from its shell. Even more wondrous, crows have been known to wait patiently at a curb with other pedestrians until a red light turns to green and they are free to walk across the road to pick up their bounty. Incredible.
Here's to you crow!

Ohhhh, I wish I could draw. I secretly like crows too. They are clever and beautiful, I think.
Thank you fellow crow lover! I feel like we need to start up a secret society of crow lovers :)
I love crows, and yours is especially beautiful! I can feel the softness of his feathers.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm off to spend some time in your Story Series section...
OK. I had to come back a second time to tell you that I loved your 3-part series on Rum! Especially after posting my own recipe with rum yesterday. Crows and rum! I love your blog!
the crow looks beautiful, even though Im not a fan of the animals, they are a pest here in Australia, they are stunning to look at, as is yours, such talent to create that sort of look with pencils

@Barbara Thank you for the kind words on my art as well as my writing. Can't wait to see what you've written on rum!
@Courtney It's high compliment indeed considering you are not fond of crows! Thanks so much for the kind words.
