More mushrooms 🌱 #fungi
Photograph of a cluster of five mushrooms ranging in sizes and heights, some kind of mycena, shot from below. Spawning from the ground, surrounded by grass and leaf litter, with a tree trunk crossing in the background. The mushrooms are a light to dark orangish color.

so many mushrooms in socal after the rain! #fungi
Photograph of some kind of shelf mushroom, possibly an Oyster mushroom, shot from below, revealing its many gills. It is spawning from the base of a large tree, surrounded by damp leaf litter. The sun is illuminating it from behind, making the edges glow white, while the parts more shaded range from creams to darker oranges.

2 designs for a 4X5 holiday card, which features a black and white illustrated reindeer with stars. The first versions has a black background, and the second a has an empty background, with just the deer and stars. Both show a red nose and a bell on a collar around the deer’s neck, with the deer leaning forward. Prominent diagonal lines are a central design element in the piece.

I found another alien in my yard tonight. This is some kind of planthopper nymph, but I have no idea what species.

Perhaps #bugsky can help!

Sierran treefrog (𝘗𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘥𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘢), one of four native tree frog species in California. Tree frogs are distinguishable from other types of frogs by their large round toe pads, which help them climb!

#sciart #amphibianart #animalart
An illustration of a Sierran tree frog, showing its brownish-green skin and prominent dark stripe through its eye. The view is looking down on the frog, with its body mostly in profile and head pointing up. Its long toes with large round toe pads are clearly visible. The background is a light off-white, with a green watercolor mark going all the way across the page and behind the frog, which is in the center of the page. The bottom write corner reads “Sierran tree frog” and has two shaded circles showing a lighter and darker brown seen on the frog.

I recently learned that November is Sibling Bereavement Month, which, through unfortunate irony, is also the birth month of my brother who passed away. If you are a bereaved sibling, especially if you lost your sibling when they still had a lot of life to live, I see you. It changes everything.

Black-naped monarch (𝘏𝘺𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘺𝘮𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘻𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘢)🌀
#birds #birdart #illustration #sciart
An illustration of a black-naped monarch perched on a broken tree stump. The bird is rendered in bright blues and whites, with its signature black crown (hence black-naped) and lores, and blue feet. Its beak is a light blue-black, but is rendered reflecting the light. Its body is facing left in profile, and its head facing right, with wings tucked and feet grasping the perch. The perch is shown only as delicate linework, and a light rectangular frame is rendered behind the bird, moving from light desaturated oranges at the bottom to a light saturated sky blue. Under the rectangle reads “Black-naped monarch.”
