Do You Know What This Is?

My dear friend Art carved this and gave it to me. He carved and painted beautiful life size Loons. He sold them locally and they were in so much demand that he kept raising his price in hopes that no one else would want one. He and his dog Tippy were both 46ers and had climbed all of the 46 High Peaks in the Adirondacks. I think he may have done them all at least twice and some of his favorites several times! He climbed Mount Marcy on his 80th Birthday and his daughter also planned to do the same this summer. I should stop in and visit with her and her husband. I've said that about many friends and family over the years but seldom follow through. Then I always live to regret it. Life is precious and short, real short.
