“Tassajara Creek Dippers.” It’s fun to watch them bob up and down. American Dipper eyelids are covered with tiny feathers that flash white when they blink! It’s North America's only truly aquatic songbird. #Februarty #pair 🪶 #birds #artyear #printmaking #womensart #sciart #ornithology #monotype
“Tassajara Creek Dippers.” Two dark gray-ish American Dipper birds face left in the flowing light blue and green water of Tassajara Creek. The left bird is bobbing up; the right one is dipping down as it stands on a brown log. In the background, a few light gray boulders stick up out of the water. Thin dark green leaves weave their way across the left side of the image. Original hand-printed monotype, chine collé by Anita Heckman. 2012. Sold. Cards available at anitaheckman.com

She is everywhere. She is the salad dressing. She is the slices of Tassajara bread in the fridge. She is the box of matzoh waiting on the steps to be brought upstairs when she arrived home from her walk. She is the plastic bags she washed, dried, & saved in the event that we needed 65,000 of them.

Rolling green hills under a clear blue sky, with a winding path leading across the landscape in the distance. There is a small pond in the valley to the right and some grazing cattle not far from it on the hillside. Mountains and white clouds are visible in the horizon.

Outside signs caution
Stellar’s jays are aggressive
but that is a jay
This plastic might as well say
The mountain’s water is wet

The one sign of instruction at Tassajara, on every table by the dining area, warning about the ubiquitous canyon jays and their appetites. These jays would land 3 feet from you and squawk for food or space. Still nothing about grass, running, or shoes, entering with which foot, bowing, etc. In this place of structure, this was the only sign.
