Please click on my  latest Youtube! It has a copy of The Inflectionist magazine that has my painting on the cover!  Great article on me, too!

I just finished the first layer of my new painting and will upload it tomorrow.  I usually get the first layer done in one day but this is a large painting and I was not feeling well yesterday.  Much better today!

Cheers!

Life with The Bird and Word Man – Clyde Kessler

I have been without a cell phone for two weeks.  I can’t believe the problems I have been having with phone service.  I went online to transfer my number and minutes to a better phone and received the notice that once the old one went dead I had a few more steps to do and then the new one would be ready to use. 

Well, I book marked the instructions and when my old phone went dead the book mark was gone so I went online to try to get to that step and could not get there.  My only option was to call and get help from someone with a strong accent that I could barely hear.  She said I was all set and could use the phone. 

WRONG! 

The phone would not change screens so I called again and after a long time the representative said for me to send it back after I received a label in the mail.  I received a box the size of the first box. I had already carefully packed the phone in the first box.   Inside the second box was a Fed Ex envelope. 

My instructions were to send the phone back in the flimsy envelope.   I kept the phone in the plastic it came in and asked the Fed Ex man if the phone would be all right sent that way.  He said yes.

Anyway, Clyde and I have had so many problems with phones that he said we were like a couple of monkeys up a tree without a coconut.

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist is Not Enjoying The Rain…

Please click on my  latest Youtube! It has a copy of The Inflectionist magazine that has my painting on the cover!  Great article on me, too!

When the rain started a few days ago I wrote about how I was enjoying the rain after such a long dry spell.  Well, today no one in the New River Valley is enjoying the rain!  Lots of flooding.  So much flooding that Montgomery County schools closed early.

Okay.  Enough!  We need to dry off now.

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist, New Large Painting in the Works, and The Devil doesn’t Charge Rent…

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please click on my  latest Youtube! It has a copy of The Inflectionist magazine that has my painting on the cover!  Great article on me, too!

I am excited about the start of a new floral landscape that is based on a field near the Radford hospital!  The light is not good enough to continue work on my latest portrait but it is good enough for several layers on a new work.  I really ought to write a book and entitle it, “Looking for the Light”. 

My work is so complex that every shift in light makes such a difference in how it looks.  I hate to work on the last layer on a cloudy day.  My Daylight flourescent lights aren’t good enough to compensate for cloudy days. 

Well, time to prepare the canvas!

Life with The Bird and Word Man – Clyde Kessler

 

I like to watch court cases.  They are oftentimes hilarious.  The other day a woman was suing a land lord who was letting her board for one year for free due to some kind of situation between them. 

The judge was completely unsympathetic.  The woman resorted to claiming she had been through hell with this land lord.  Clyde’s quip was “Well, if she has been through hell, then the Devil doesn’t charge rent.”

We have had such a long dry spell that I am enjoying the sound of rain!  I have never disliked cloudy days.  I prefer sunny days but cloudy days are great, too!  I am always too busy to pay a lot of attention to the weather.  As long as a hurricane or tornado does not show up, I’m good.

Life with The Bird and Word Man – Clyde Kessler

 

Clyde and I had to laugh big time over a Facebook joke!  The seventies band America wrote a song called A Horse with no Name.  The guy is going through the desert on a horse with no name.  Someone on Facebook said that at any time during that desert trip the guy could have given the horse a name. Just saying! 

No offense to fans of America!

Life with The Bird and Word Man – Clyde Kessler

I had such a bad experience with a sales representative over the phone that I had to call Clyde and tell him about it.  The woman I talked to kept spelling my name wrong but insisted she was spelling it correctly. She was also rude about a number of other things she asked me. 

I have had students on the verge of getting an “F” for a course speak in a politer manner to me and that is saying something these days.  One student put me through the ringer because she insisted the “C” she received was incorrect.  Her helicopter Dad called the president of the University to complain.  I have been happily retired for four years.

Anyway, at the beginning of the conversation I was given the option to fill out a survey about the service at the end of the call.  I declined but I will be sure to do that next time!

I really don’t like to sit and yesterday I joked about having the actual fear of sitting disorder called Cathisophobia.  We will eventually move and when we do I am going to see if we can’t have our computer up high so I can stand. 

I can stand all day in front of an easel but sitting wears me out.  I have to spend a lot of time promoting my work on the computer so it would be great if I could stand, click and type away!

Life with The Bird and Word Man – Clyde Kessler

I am pretty sure I have mentioned this before but I have something else to say about it.  There is an actual disorder that is a fear of sitting.

When someone fears sitting, they may actually have anxieties about being trapped, or being unable to sit still. The fear of sitting is known as Cathisophobia

I think I may have Cathisophobia but my fear is different.  My Dad was always telling me to get off my butt and get to work!  He is no longer with us and we miss him greatly but I will always hear him saying that.  I think my fear of sitting is that if I don’t get off my butt it will be kicked into the middle of next week!   LOL!

 

Clyde grew up on a farm so he knows all about getting off his butt!

Life with The Bird and Word Man – Clyde Kessler

The BioBlitz starts today!  The Bird Man is at Rocky Knob with a great group of scientists and naturalists!

Rocky Knob BioBlitz September 18th/19th, 2015

The Blue Ridge Parkway will soon be holding its first BioBlitz in almost 15 years and would love to have you join us for our next one. A BioBlitz is a 24-hour biological inventory of a designated area conducted by people with a wide variety of specialities and experiences. BioBlitzes have been used on the Parkway and elsewhere to get a better idea of what plants and animals are at a site, and to allow site managers to better manage these important natural resources.

 Our job is to protect the natural resources in our park. Unless we know what’s out there, it’s awfully hard to protect it. Your species lists will tell us what we have and what to be concerned about.

 

 It will be fun!!! Normally fun isn’t supposed to be a justification for a scientific endeavor, yet we’re looking forward to getting in the field with old acquaintances and making new friends. What could be better than walking through the woods with fellow naturalists looking for plants and animals?

The BioBlitz will begin at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, September 18, 2015 and continue until 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, though people are welcome to begin anytime Friday morning if they are want to get an early start. On-site registration will start at noon at the Rocky Knob Picnic Area pavilion at Milepost 169. Activities for schools will also begin Friday morning. We will hold the BioBlitz rain or shine.

The BioBlitz will be held in and around Rock Castle Gorge in the Rocky Knob area of the Parkway near Floyd (VA). The approximately 3,600-acre site is located along the Parkway between Milepost 165 near Tuggles Gap and Milepost 174 at Rock Castle Gap. This area includes mature second-growth forests, seeps and streams, wetlands, successional forests and agricultural fields.

We are inviting specialists, naturalists and nature lovers to join us for all or part of the 24-hour, 2-day event. Participants will be provided a map and information about the area and then set free to inventory anywhere in the site. There may be opportunity for non-specialists to join specialists with their fieldwork.

 Do not travel alone! Let someone know where your group will be and when you will get back.
Only park vehicles in safe locations off of roads and be sure to follow all traffic laws. Pull out of the

way for faster moving vehicles.
Use care hiking on slippery and uneven surfaces. Do not exceed your capabilities. ) Watch where you place your hands if you search crevices rocks, under logs, etc.
Carry a first-aid kit and other safety gear with you.
Weather can rapidly change at this time of year; be prepared for inclement weather.

It will help the Blue Ridge Parkway manage its natural resources.
It’s a great chance to meet face-to-face with people you’ve talked to on the phone or whose publications

you’ve read. Spend the day with your colleagues. Develop new personal and professional relationships.
It’s a chance to learn something about your local area. There’s more to the Parkway than just the road!

Come on out and see what’s out here!

 It will be fun!!!

Please turn in a list of what you find, or let us know when you plan to share your findings, before leaving the BioBlitz. Information we would like are species names, locations where they were found, numbers observed, etc. We will happily accept copies of photographs of what you find. Collecting any specimen is only allowed with a permit issued by the Blue Ridge Parkway. Please apply for permits early https://irma.nps.gov/rprs/Investigator/Index . We will have a closing session at 2:30 Saturday afternoon where everyone can share their findings.

Registration can be completed ahead of the event at http://goo.gl/forms/RC9F4fOnVs . Or you can register on-site at the Rocky Knob Picnic Area pavilion at Milepost 169 beginning at noon on Friday.
