I was sitting outside using @Procreate— illustrating a non-fiction #KidLit and found myself accidentally #birdwatching. I spied this cutie eating from lavender blooms. I looked it up in my #Audubon book. I think it’s an adult male Lesser Goldfinch of western North America?
Side view of small yellow bird with black capped head. White stripes on dark colored wings. I think it’s an adult male Lesser Goldfinch of western North America.

I'm a bit late on posting for #KidLitPostcard day—no octopi involved. If they were, I might have been on time.
Watercolor painting showing undersea creatures, one blue and one yellow octopus with mouth open, eyeing a red and green stripped fish.

Watercolor and ink illustration: yellow ground, blue sky, flowers. A bug is flying, a bird is on the ground, and a brown cat is on the hill. All the animals are humming a tune/ music notes over their heads.

I think this rock on a trail in Alaska looks like a bear.
