Gourdon Squash Head- A work in Progress

I thought I'd share another one of my WIP photos. Gourdon is a lot of fun to work on! To me, he just seems like a fellow with a lot of personality, at least that what I'm shootin' for!

I've decided that Squash Heads are mischievous little characters who like nothing better than to scare carrots...yes, that's what I said. Sometimes they even pull them out of the ground! They never really hurt them, they just think scared carrots are incredibly funny! Squash Heads are known to emit a horrible Banshee sounding laugh that can be quite irritating whenever they scare a carrot.

But no worries, they never hurt the little fellows. Just scare them, laugh and put them down...not the hateful sort who cooks 'em in a pot.

Oh my...now see what I've done?...I be you want to see what a scared carrot looks like....stay tuned and you will find out.

Please let me know what you think of Gourdon so far as a value your comments greatly!
Thanks for sharing my day!

Carly

Allan graduates! Masters of Science!

Masters in Engineering from CU!!! Just last week we went to Colorado for my eldest son's graduation from Colorado University at Boulder. He now has his Masters in Environmental Engineering. He received his Bachelors in Chemical Engineering from USF where he was the President of Engineers Without Borders.

He has always had an interest in providing sanitary drinking water to those in other countries who have none. His most recent trip took him to Africa for a few months! He had quite the experience!

Congratulations, Allan!!!

My Son Matthew, Birds of Prey!!!

This is a picute of my son,Matthew, who is the Coordinator for Eagle Watch in Florida!

Audubon’s Center for Birds of Prey opened its doors in 1979. Thirty one years later, the Center is the premier raptor rehabilitation facility in the eastern United States. Raptors treated at the Center include hawks, owls, kites, falcons and eagles. In addition to birds of prey, it also cares for vultures, taking every opportunity to educate the public about these very valuable members of the stork family.

Annual patient admissions average 600, with a release rate of 40%. Approximately 10% of admissions annually are Bald Eagles, and the Center is renowned for its eagle care. To date the Center has released 407 eagles back to the wild.

Non-releasable birds may live out their lives at the Center as education ambassadors. Young birds with permanent disabilities are trained to the glove and become “working birds”, traveling to schools, festivals and other events. They interact with over 20,000 people annually.

The Center is located in a suburban neighborhood on Lake Sybelia in Maitland. In addition to over 20 species of raptors and vultures on display, there are educational displays, a butterfly garden, gazebo and wetlands on the lake and Audubon House, a restored 1924 bungalow.
