Today's #Project365 centered on two fledgling House Sparrows I saw placed in a dark corner by their mom before she left them...
"Lil bro, I got a bad feeling here. Mama ain't coming back."
"How'm I the lil bro? We the same size."
"Point is, we gotta get our own food now."
"Oh, wonderful, just how I wanted to wake up today."
(They did eventually go to the feeders on their own.)
Had the chance to capture this galaxy, M51, from my obsevatory in Mexico City this very week! Zoomed in beforehand to show you the details of this magnificent pair of interacting galaxies.

May 3, 1983, 41 years ago today: At a spot called Three Forks, four miles from Springer Mountain, the Appalachian Trail crossed a fire road beside the convergence of three streams which had become raging torrents. A blinding mass of rain was creating a surreal, semi-aquatic woodland.
There is a wonderful view from the top of the mountain. The colors blue and purple relax the soul, you can leave all worries behind and find inner peace.
When painting this abstract landscape painting, I had fun letting watercolor, ink and water flow and playing with the expressive color contrast between the bold red of the barn and the bright greens of the landscape.
