The Dutch call the Kingfisher ‘IJsvogel’ (Ice bird). Funny, as these bird never even come close to the ice. Instead they live in rain forests, places near a source of water and fish. It’s for this reason also that they are the most amazing fishers! A family of Kingfishers eat up to a 100 fishes each day.
Summer Day
In Cut and Paste on June 5, 2011 at 3:23 pmIt has been a couple of months since I last posted a Kartworks piece on this blog.
This rainy and lazy Sunday turned out to be the perfect day to express my obsession with trees once more. Pink might not be my favorite color, however for this theme it worked out quite nicely.
What do you think?
Snow, snow, snow
In Cut and Paste on December 20, 2010 at 5:03 pmRudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names;
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say,
Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You’ll go down in history.
Lyrics from ‘Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer’ by Johnny Marks
