During 2007 I began decorating my birdhouses with discarded plastic bottle caps and cutting colorful plastic containers to depict scenes such as apple orchards, grape vineyards, citrus groves, daffodils, etc.,  and marketing these locally.   I also make birdhouses with pine cone parts.  Look at my work in the  pictures that I hope you will find have the professional touch necessary to classify my birdhouses as works of art.

Birdwings

Your grief for what you've lost lifts a mirror
up to where you are bravely working.

Expecting the worst, you look and instead,
here's the joyful face you've been wanting to see.

Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes.
If it were always a fist or always stretched open,
you would be paralyzed.

Your deepest presence
is in every small contracting and expanding,
the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated
as birdwings.
    Rumi (13th Century Persain poet)
       (This writing was given to me by a very special friend.  Thanks Joe!)

AGAIN
It was about forty-plus years ago.
I wanted to make a relationship with my nephew.
"Do you want to make a birdhouse," I asked?

His "yes," became our first medium of communication;
man to boy, adult to child; person to person.

A simple question that started something from nothing. 
A summer visit many years ago.

My nephew is now a grown man with children.  
"Do you want to make a birdhouse," I
asked his son?

Attempt something from nothing.
Make something beautiful using only time.
Ponder relationships. 
Imagine Creation...
