What's New with Jim - 2025
2025 was an exciting time of travel within the US and to Finland! Our trip to Florida last winter revealed spectacular birds including Spoonbills, Egrets and a grand Great Horned Owl on a nest with two of her chicks. In July we visited Finland which boasted fantastic coastal landscapes and unusual (for us) birds including a Eurasian Eagle Owl! Stop by one of our Fall shows to experience the beauty from these exotic locations.

What's New with Sue - 2025
After finishing up our Spring Show Season in May I have taken time to enjoy my garden, a wonderful vacation with my daughter and helping my son move. Even with all that going on I did have time to work on some artwork. This has been a summer of swallowtail butterflies, watching them in my flower garden and drawing them. I am currently working on a picture with the Black Swallowtail and the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail along with their host plants, Tulip Poplar, Parsley and Queen Anne’s Lace. What a fun picture, complicated and taking time, but fun. I am hoping to have this picture completed for the Fall Shows. I have also spent time going back into a previous swallowtail and mothman picture, brightening the colors, I think it looks bolder, brighter, better. I have a couple more pictures I’m working on, another swallowtail, the pipevine swallowtail and a rose picture. I’m excited about both of these pictures, more to come about this.
