I figured out that I am allowed to buy pecans. This is a big step. A tasty step. A high-calorie step.

This is Red
Something very reassuring about this big old redwood tree

I am really looking forward to starting a new and exciting project today, this Golden Eagle being the first of a long list of flora and fauna to be illustrated

It used to be that the US spoke warningly of going to any country where you might just be walking along and an unmarked van would pull up, masked guys jump out and seize you, no warrant or anything, and carry you off to parts unknown.
That country is now us.
That country is now us.

There are a lot of different eagle and hawk species in South Africa, but there was one in particular that I was hoping to see.
It was kind of hidden by branches, high in a tree , but then, this African Fish Eagle took off to check out the riverbank in the late evening light!

He's right! @bsky.tdunning.com says you can compare ancient Roman road map to today's places
So all roads lead to... London? Paris?
