What does it feel like to be a remora?
It seems that, despite the benefits they provide, whales do not like their presence and do everything they can to get rid of them. They observe them, jump several times, and check again to see if they are still there.

fyi images of Shanhai jing available today were drawn in the 16-17th century. Here is a fun fact, some of them are far different from the original description. This is 2. Qu-ru (a duck with a human face), but it’s obviously a pheasant with a bird face. So it’s ok to ignore some prompt text imo.

Start the challenge anytime. You don’t have to draw every day for a month. It’s fine to draw just a few of them. (Needless to say, don’t use Gen AI)
Here are examples: 4. Shang-fu (a three-headed, three-winged, six-legged chicken) and 28. Chu-niao (a six-headed blue bird) #30WeirdAncientBirds

Draw mythical birds with your imagination! An ancient mythic geographic compilation, Shanhai jing is full of weird birds. Its illustrations were lost long ago. Why don’t we imagine them from the descriptions in the text? Here is the prompt list

2/8 In birds, it seems natural to order numbers from smallest to largest in a line from left to right, something that was believed to be cultural and specific to humans, but which turns out to have deep roots in nature.

More foraging adventures - the white oak near me was masting, so I picked some acorns and made acorn jelly.
Also, did you know that acorn weevil larva is delicious???

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
