Moa riders. Here some art to get this account started :)

Draw in procreate. Initially it started as a watercolour illustration but I ended up changing it to more digital style to get the colours to pop more.

If you’re in the Florida Scrub-Jay’s ideal habitat, the ancient, shrubby sand ridges & dunes of central Florida, you may notice them caching nuts beneath the sand. Interestingly, this Scrub-Jay often places a leaf or twig “marker” over its cache sites in the sand – perhaps to jog its memory? 🤔🪶

Florida Scrub Jay is the only bird endemic to the state of Florida. Their habitat is diminishing due to habitat destruction, fragmentation, and degradation from development and agriculture, keeping them in THREATENED, Rare, Vulnerable status. #birds

The Florida Scrub Jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) is a large, blue-gray song bird. It's Florida's only endemic bird species, meaning it's found nowhere else in the world. Notice the “bling”on its leg. They’re super friendly, inquisitive birds. #FloridaScrubJay #BirdsofBlueSky #SongBirds #TinyJoys

Scrub Jay with Sand Oak, watercolor, 12x17”

Inspired by Jonathan Dickinson State Park, and other at-risk scrub habitats. Florida Scrub Jays are only found in Florida! I’m told they eat the acorns from the sand oak trees!

Best known for ostriches, the #ratite group’s smallest member is the #Kiwi. Incredibly, it is believed that the tiny Kiwi's closest relative is the extinct Elephant Bird, the largest known avian bird to ever live. #watercolor #traditionalart #scientificillustration #animalart #birdart #kiwibird

Happy 1st bday little Pakō. A year ago today I ran out my bedroom at 22:30 because you were hatching. So many tears, being the second pair of hands to welcome you to earth. So stoked you are doing well and are such a happy guy. Thanks to Al and the best wildlife team. #nznativebirds #kiwibird #bird

Today in 1993: Nirvana’s iconic “Unplugged” concert airs on MTV.

“.. In the moment, you weren’t aware you were taping what was Nirvana's last album," producer Alex Coletti said later. "It was only in hindsight that it became what it became."

October 2023, I finally made it to Andorra. 🇦🇩 I’ve had a strange desire to visit this tiny nation ever since I noticed it in a National Geographic world atlas my parents bought me for Christmas as a child. Only took me over 30 so years to finally see it, not much to see 😆 but still beautiful ❤️🏔️🇦🇩
