Snowy Searches for Color … the polls are now closed and the results are tabulated.
Wow! My thanks for all the great feedback. 145 of you voted, and many people provided additional comments. You voted in a resounding manner … for … Snowy in a Field! 82% of you voted for this cover. Thank you so very much.
The most common comment for this cover is it looked like this owl was searching for color. Many of you also noted I needed to increase the cover text font size (done).
Here is a low-res mock up of the new cover as voted for by you!
My new children’s book, Snowy Searches for Color, goes to the printer next week and will definitely be available by the holidays. One of my final decisions is to choose and cover, and I would like your help! (see my other children’s books)
Please indicate your favorite cover … here are the two options. Remember this is a children’s picture book, and would be in that section of a bookstore.
You will find a checkbox underneath the images.
The polls for the Snowy Owl book cover are now closed! Thank you for your input.
Earlier this weekend my blog readers, in other words all of you folks, surpassed the 250,000 pages viewed mark! This achievement is significant given given where my blog started out a bit over five years ago. It has been a fun journey. I have enjoyed meeting everyone … some of you virtually while others in actual person! Keep those comments coming.
Here are some stats … (see end of post for a video taken Friday of my “yard bear”!)

This year’s statistical overview through June 23, 2019
All Time “Top 50” Pages and Links (January 2014 to June 2019)
Your favorite pages and blog posts tend to focus upon the Northern Lights, equipment reviews, and northern Minnesota birding information. Your favorite bird posts tend to focus upon raptors, specifically owls.
And the promised bear video … Yogi (or should I say Boo Boo) was only a few feet away from our house. I think this bear is a yearling kicked out by Mom and now needing to learn to fend for itself in the wild. We see this bear often (photos).
