The local library is sponsoring an event called "Tray Bien" Artists from around the area have decorated wooden trays that will be auctioned off in October. Proceeds will go to the Lunenburg Public Library. Here is my submission - of course my daughter suggested the bird be a robin. I hope there are no rules against bidding on your own tray because it matches my living room :)
We were in Central Park a few weeks ago and we were sitting on the benches near Cleopatra's Needle. As we were sitting there a woodpecker flew down and landed on the monument. I didn't actually seem him peck at the granite but I had a vision of him pecking out elaborate hieroglyphics Woody-Woodpecker-style.
