20-year-old coloured sketch retrieved from shredder...

My oldest daughter Allison recently came across this discoloured sketch, of a Northern  Saw-whet Owl, I had done twenty years ago and which I had inadvertently included in some papers destined to be shredded. The sketch was part of my becoming a birdwatcher.   She reclaimed the sketch and put it in a small frame and gifted it to me.   It was a delightful surprise.   This transpired at a time when Allison also had me doing a personal assessment exercise in which I was asked to select a different life career than the one I had lived for decades as a community newspaper marketer.   I told her that I would have liked to have been in the art world - either art creation or art design or perhaps artistic or creative photography.   Her gesture was quite touching and brought back pleasant memories.

Please comment if you wish.
