In fact, I somehow remember them wearing gloves but looking back at the photos and the clip I took they're bare-handed! Memory deceives. Thanks for dropping by via Sharefest -- and I hope your family did end up getting at least a snack... ;-)Picturetalk321https://www.blogger.com/profile/00140843071368851486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121729378254905202.post-31299953305114224202013-04-06T20:30:59.477+01:002013-04-06T20:30:59.477+01:00I would love to see those books up close.

As a studio art/art history double major in college, who now stays home with a pair of toddlers, I am thrilled to have found your blog through SITS Sharefest. I hope my family doesn't mind if I read your blog, rather than make supper tonight!Sandra Kohlmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226619243439704756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121729378254905202.post-49691250255782656352013-04-04T21:24:37.750+01:002013-04-04T21:24:37.750+01:00It's extraordinary, isn't it, that they we...It's extraordinary, isn't it, that they were painted from stuffed birds? Audubon: a man of contradictions. And somehow very 19th-century. Have a lovely day!Picturetalk321https://www.blogger.com/profile/00140843071368851486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121729378254905202.post-14526860229083196112013-04-04T10:59:45.238+01:002013-04-04T10:59:45.238+01:00It is hard to believe that such vibrant and alive ...It is hard to believe that such vibrant and alive images came from dead birds.
