Mushroom party 🍄‍🟫🍄🍄‍🟫 #fungiFriends
5-6 different types of fungi growing on the flat end of a cut log. The log is covered by bright green moss, and there are dead leaves and patchy sprigs of grass all over the forest floor, and some bare late fall trees in the distance.

Not pictured: the mildly rumpled corner that this guy chomped on before I could stop him

Feeling cute 🌸 #ootd

Resharing this one from many moons ago 🌕
Full Circle, 11x14” mixed media on paper. #art #illustration #fullMoon
A colorful drawing with an array of muted bright hues. It depicts a coyote searching for a rabbit hiding in the brush, a rat contemplating eating a mushroom growing out of a dead stump, a new tree growing out of the stump, and a moth flying in the dusky sky next to a huge neon yellow full moon on the horizon. As these animals and fungi act out the cycles of life and death, plants grow all around them, and a small mandala in the sky reflects the parallel connections and balance that connect them all.

🌺💀🌿 The Halloween decorations at the Botanic Gardens looked great. They do an event in the evenings with a bunch of lights and stuff, and after seeing the decor during the day, I definitely want to go back for it one of these years!

Ken cat, taking a break from zooming around the house with his new favorite ball. The old favorite was a set of little foam soccer balls, which he tore to shreds within one play session each. 😂 #cats

Cat people of Bluesky! Would someone like to adopt this sweet kitty?? She’s from the same rescue org as my new cat, Ken, & flew from Azerbaijan with him a month ago but hasn’t found her home yet. She’s in Chicago. I’ll post her listing in the comments (and info in alt)
#cats ❤️ Boosts appreciated!
Aylana, a 1 year old cat with white fur and gray/ tawny tabby markings, and bright yellowish-green eyes. She started life as an abandoned stray kitten in a village in Azerbaijan, and one day was kicked around by some children and was badly injured. Thankfully someone intervened and called a rescue to come pick her up! The vet didn't think she'd survive her injuries, but she persevered, and they ended up successfully rehabilitating her. She has been flown into the US and is now being fostered in Chicago, waiting to find a permanent home. (A photo of a mildly weathered, sweet-faced, small cat, in the arms of a volunteer human carer)

A photo of pale cream mushrooms growing from a log in the forest. The angle of the photo shows the gills underneath, which reach all along the bottom down over the stem. The edges are gently ruffled. Cute fungi from today’s walk on the local hiking path

The true beginning vs now.

Sure, it’s been several decades, but look at that PROGRESS! haha

Quote post with yours if you’re feeling brave! TRUE beginnings, no cheating 😏 show us your weird kid art #throwbackThursday
A crudely drawn and painted piece of kid art: a goofy-looking human girl with a goofy smile, in a colorful outfit and hat, with gigantic shoes and even more gigantic laces. She’s holding a bunch of balloons and a dog on a leash in one hand, and in the other a cat on a leash. The cat is also wearing a colorful outfit and has a goofy smile. There’s an inordinate amount of confetti filling the air, a nondescript object on the ground labeled “pant” (paint), and the name Jill written sloppily in the corner A nicely drawn and colored piece of art, with a colorful imaginary nature scene between mountains and a bright blue stream, with a serene-looking bobcat and a bunch of flowers. A small cabin sits in the distance.

Out of two potential ideas, I took the more ambitious route, and I’m pretty pleased with how it’s going. ✨ #wip #art
