I wander and make stuff, sometimes; I'm trying to make stuff more often, despite the best efforts of my inner critic. Behold, many shiddy first drafts, and some iffy second drafts too.

Truly delighted today to see these orchids while tromping across a field today (which was full of flowers and herbs and smelled just so, so good), didn't even mind sinking knee-deep in mud and having to fight to get my boot back. Also, I saw a green woodpecker.

I saw a whole flock of black vultures doing their thing and recycling a dead alligator. It was quite a thing to behold. (This was taken in the Everglades National Park)

Sadly, no stickers left. I think it was back when we were making them at home! I found the art for them (and winced... it wasn't as good as I remembered it being) (also also NerdyCute was the artist alley thing I made with my sister)
