Peacock Books & Wildlife Art News — Lisa Loucks Christenson

Peacock Books & Wildlife Art is honored to present the gorgeous, detailed wood carvings by Richard Southard, owner of Impressions in Wood. The beautiful details in his art include hand carved eyes, finely detailed feathers on the wings of geese, chickadees, and his breathtaking hummingbirds in flight, feeding, or flying — he captures their spirit and joy of life of God’s creatures.

One must sit in the wild for hours, and likely, on many trips to observe what Richard captures in the bird behavior exhibited in his exquisite wood carvings.

Stop by and see for yourself the beauty of Richard’s carved wildlife scenes, little moments of life, captured and preserved for display in any room you would like to add a breathe of new flight, either as a hanging ornament or mounted on carved grapevine, aromatic cedar base.

When Garrison Keillor Stops By . . .  Invite Him In

It was a rain-spattered afternoon today in downtown Rochester. I don't mind the weather, I've stood in a thousand plus rainstorms when I'm in the outdoor working on my wildlife documentaries and nature footage. I was working indoors, no mosquitos, stinging nettles, or burdock to stick to my clothes or hair.

Today, I was warm, dry, and my feet didn't have to slosh around in water-filled boots. Instead I dusted my shelves in our new Peacock Books store, add new book arrivals to my front window. Due to popular request, I decided to place Hoda Kotb's new book, I've Loved You Since Forever, and I positioned where it seemed most natural to be . . . right next to Kathy Lee Gifford's, The Rock, the Road, and the Rabbi, another highly  recommended and requested title.
