This dark form red-tailed hawk is a gorgeous bird sitting and in flight. Can’t help snapping a shot whenever I see him, even on an ugly T-pole. 🌿

Isopod Culture
Five isopods on an old, lichen-covered log. Caption reads: Isopod culture. An isopod in sunglasses skateboards down a log cut to look like a ramp. A crowd of isopods wearing sunglasses and caps cheer it on. Caption: isopod counterculture.

We love a good field guide around these parts. The more unique, the better. Phil Chaon and Iain Campbell have certainly done that with their new book, Habitats of North America; A Field Guide for Birders, Naturalists, and Ecologists.

While I work on this year's valentine, here's last year's.
A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a wood frog stands on a pink background. The text says: "Feeling unlucky in love? Did you know that male Wood Frogs have difficulty perceiving members of their species? Here are some things they’ve been documented trying to mate with." "Spotted Salamander." The wood frog looks at a large yellow-spotted salamander, with a heart over the frog's head. "Cattail." The frog looks amorously at a large cattail flower or "sausage." "Green frog." The wood frog looks at a large confused-looking green frog. "Dead fish." The wood frog stares at a large dead fish. "Live fish." The wood frog looks amorously at a large trout. "Pine cone." The wood frog looks at a large pine cone. The final text says: "Sorry, there's no moral here. I just thought you'd enjoy this fact about frogs."

Kingfishers are beautiful creatures. Definitely a favorite of mine to paint.
