First Ice

   Most every morning I go out and take a walk around the house. 

  There's a sciff of ice forming along the lake shore,   it's covered with a dusting of last night's snow.  

   The crows fly over, and that's what I'm inspired to carve,  a flying crow.  (This was a few days ago.)  Click on photos to enlarge.

      The Flying Crow has a 10" wing span.

      High gloss finish for easy dusting.
