the slight warmth of their fur against the cooler white of the snow

The Spotted Owl carries ecological significance beyond its beauty: it is an indicator species for old-growth forest health

Garter Snake and Grasshopper — Gallery Canvas Wrap Color:White confident touch that gives thisA garter snake strikes upward at a grasshopper in mid flight the snake's body coiled on a sandy bank, the yellow striped scales rendered scale by scale, the mouth open wide, the grasshopper's wings spread at the moment of attempted escape. This is one of Glen's earliest known works, signed 1963, and it already demonstrates the observational discipline that would define his career: the snake's anatomy is exact, the grasshopper's wing venation visible.
