Late night thought: Why do I bother myself so much? That inner voice that isn't helpful! 😤

Sometimes it's #anxiety, #mentalhealth, or #pressure.

I think this is what #selfcare means. Not just spa days and brownies 😅 building healthy #habits for longevity.

Silly #pigeon #art.

Late night thoughts about #nature.

If two looking flies are having a contest...is it to the death?

Also learned that the evolution of blowholes has in NOT relocated the breathing orifice behind the head but the tube is still in front of the brain case. #wild #showerthoughts #birds for tax.

Trying a new analogue to digital process! (It's a little scary.) Hehe

I'm still making birds for #birbfest over on IG but the #illustrators seem to like it here too, although the tiny text, swiping, and trying to find the original thread are hard. #socials #birds #eepy

Does it count if the bird lands on your truck? Lol I'm in a campground in New Mexico, so it probably doesn't.

Birds I've seen in southern OR: lots of bald eagles. Tons of tree swifts. Barn swallows. Yellow warblers. Song sparrows.

But! I have a question!

As a #birder or #photographer, what's the most important or entertaining things about #birds you want to see in #children's book?

Any and all ideas!
