In Colombia and made a friend this morning. He was stuck inside full of spider web...was apprehensive about me but realized what I was trying to do. He let me take a few pictures as I walked around barefoot before saying thank you and flying off. The colors 😍 #invertebrate 🦋
A beautiful moth with iridescent blue all over his body. He hat spider web and lint all over and I had to pick it off slowly. At the tip of my finger you can see a dead fly stuck to the web which is stuck to his legs. A beautiful moth with iridescent blue all over his body. Here you can see part of his wing with some orangey colors. He had spider web and lint all over and I had to pick it off slowly. At the tip of my finger you can see a dead fly stuck to the web which is stuck to his legs. A better shot of the precious jewel on my finger. Here you can see his brown wings with orange spots and his beautiful blue iridescent body. The spider web is clearly seen and a dead fly, along with some other insect parts underneath him. This is how I found him trying to fly but was stuck. The moth is in the shade on the floor next to The ledge of the sliding doors.

Anthropomorphized Alpacas doing human things 🦙

🦊
A digital pen sketch of an Alpaca sleeping what's a bunch of pillows. This is actually me and how I sleep in my bed... I have 500 (actually 6) pillows and I need them all! 😊 ... It keeps my spine in alignment to prevent pain. An Alpaca demonstrating how he puts on a pair of sweatpants. He's very proud of himself. A cartoonist Alpaca sketching a funny peanut. Two alpacas at the beach. When is running towards the ocean with his arms outstretched, and the other is on a blankets in the sand with his arms outstretched. There's a picnic basket in a backpack next to the blanket. In the background is a mountain with a grove of trees and some rocks.

Good morning. I'd like to invite anyone who is interested to make a small gesture of kindness today. It's up to you to decide what that can be. The key is for you to act on the idea. With so much out of our control, we can choose how to be with each other today and every day.

It was raining last night in Chicago and I woke up to snowflakes ❄️

So I decided to create a little winter first themed kaleidoscope illustration. I disagree with krismus but I do love forest scenes and cute animals! 🐿️ 🦊 🦌 🐦

Maybe I'll turn this into a pattern for fuzzy winter blankets 🤔
A winter kaleidoscope : large pine trees in the center coming out of pine cones and with little birds keeping warm, pine trees in the background near some bunnies topping and a reindeer looking out into the distance, a red squirrel lands a red fox running around, some snowflake patterns and mistletoe just because
