Beasts and Birds

If you have a blog on Blogger, you know that the login page has a rolling list of recently updated blogs, and a category called "Blogs of Note." A few months ago I clicked on the noted blog out of curiosity, and found one worth revisiting.

Rigor Vitae is written by "A failed field biologist with credentials to be a street sweeper, NASA spokesman, or wildlife artist. Settled for the third option." His artwork is breathtaking, and his writing about art and nature is both detailed and thought provoking. For someone like me who doesn't have nearly enough time to study everything I want to learn about, this site is a welcome addition to the list of favorite blogs. His droll sense of humor doesn't hurt, either.
