A few photos I took after the fog cleared at the #Arkemheen polder in #Nijkerk last Sunday morning. First time seeing the sedge warbler and yellow wagtail this year!

this piece is called “Godwit Glory”, and features a Marbled Godwit bird in a stylized setting. I made it because here in Humboldt County, we have a birdwatching festival called Godwit Days that celebrates the migratory presence of many local fowl. It is a big event, drawing lots of people.

Birdwatching is definitely a *thing* here along the Redwood Coast.

I submitted a poster version of this image to the Redwood Art Association’s photography and digital art show called North Coast Lens, and was granted an Honorable Mention by the judge.

I’m quite proud of this image. It was one of the first where I incorporated an image I’d made for another greeting card and manipulated into a new stylized “framing”. It was lauded for its graphic design.

De IJslandse grutto (Limosa limosa islandica) begeeft zich graag in plasdras gebieden.
De meeste grutto's in Europa vinden we tijdens het broedseizoen in Nederland.

The Icelandic black-tailed godwit (Limosa limosa islandica) likes to frequent marshy areas. Most godwits in Europe can be found in the Netherlands during the breeding season.
