ROSELYN PIERCE-SHIRLEY After a thirty year career in real estate, I retired in 2013 and my husband, Dr. Joe Shirley, and I bought a second home near Galveston, Texas. Our primary home is in Clear Lake Shores in Galveston County. While remodeling the canal home, the north wind blew water out of our canal and gorgeous roseate spoonbills, egrets and blue herons came into the canal to ’fish’ for fish trapped in the shallow water. My husband bought me my first digital camera and I enrolled in Featherfest classes in Galveston. These events opened a wonderful new path for me to express the artistic side of me that had to be put on hold because of a career. I now spend all my spare time stalking birds in Clear Lake Shores, Galveston, Harborwalk, Bolivar Island, Belize and South America. I am a member of the Audubon Society and Galveston Art League. I was selected and published in Coast Magazine in their feature article called ’The Bird Stalker.’ My work is for sale at various galleries and restaurants in the area. I hope you enjoy my art and story about the geese. Email: roselynpierce@comcast.net Website: www.roselynpierce-shirley.com Facebook: Roselyn Pierce-Shirley Photography Art
