Happy Solstice to All and to All Shorter Nights

Here are a few more additions to the creature tree:

A fledgling great-horned owl


A common garter snake

A mottled sculpin.

The owl and snake were requested by Sarah and the fish will be a gift.

And here are some photos from our longest night of the year:


An ice-covered spider silk

Icy grass

Sarah's snow angel

Tulip tree buds

The ornaments are balsa wood carved, sanded, and painted with acrylics.
