Make an oak leaf bowl. It will be fun. I made a bit of a rod for my own back. 🤦‍♀️ So much carving.

The Japanese maples in the park are at peak autumn beauty.

I am a sucker for raindrops on leaves on a beautiful autumn day. 🍂

A vulture cleaning up the unfortunate remains of a rabbit. He was surprisingly tolerant of my approach. I got hissed at a few times but he didn’t flee.

If I were a robot, this is what I would look like — according to my son. ❤️

I made a small statuette to commemorate someone whose special ability is spotting four leaf clover. 🍀 I hope she likes it. I love finding out someone’s unique talent.

I’m always enchanted by the autumn crocus in Highland Park

I found the right plant (crinkle leaf succulent) for my little monster pot. Giving muppet vibes now!

This fellow barked, trilled, growled and used innumerable squirrelly insults to get me to leave so he could have his water in private. I told him insults would get him nowhere.

I made a plumeria tile for a friend. It didn’t come out exactly how I wanted but it’s a definite improvement over my first attempt. I hated my first attempt but another friend liked it and took it. She didn’t want me to throw it in the trash.

A flower soul of the common mouse ear, a tiny chickweed flower that likely peppers your lawn unnoticed. Her dress is decorated with mouse ear plants as well.

A pretty black widow spider living under a pan left in my dad’s backyard. She was safely relocated. Quite impressive isn’t she?

Very saddened to hear of Karen Diamond’s death. A violent tragedy like the Boulder attack reveals the best and worst of humanity. An evil man set her on fire. Seeing her fall, another man realizes he has nothing to quell the fire. Nothing but his own body. He threw himself on the flames to save her.

🌸 Cherry blossoms 🌸
Full of spring joy
I’m into cherry blossoms at the moment. A little wabi-sabi. A little Alice in Wonderland. I always wanted to stroll through that Looking Glass garden.

Today’s bit of clay is a pinch pot bowl with a floral edge. It was done on a whim. I think I will try a more thoughtful variation.

Today’s sculpture has been in the works for a few days. I started this after finding out the U.S. bombed Iran. Sometimes the world is dark and confusing. I really struggled to make a bunny that was small enough. This is bunny number five.

I love having coffee or tea on my back step. There is always Dra-MA! Today, it’s angry red squirrels chittering and having a war amongst themselves across multiple trees. They are livid. You know who never causes drama? Nuthatches. They just beep-beep along minding their own business.

A new poppy friend to capture my fondness for California poppies. I’m so grateful that they will grow in New York State. Once Ms. Poppy is fired her orangey color will be more robust.

The Black Canyon of the Gunnison is majestic. It’s very deep with sheer cliffs. Some parts only get 30 min. of sunlight a day. It was lovely watching the birds (swallows and swifts) zoom and loop through the canyon. They have an enviable life.

I titled this piece ‘My daughter is in the emergency room and I can’t be with her’. She says I can retitle it’ I guess you learned your lesson about ear piercing’, which someone actually said to her. Lol
