I don’t believe I showed off this birdo yet. It’s a card!

Hawk Feather and Wandering Trails
Wandering the trails around here never seem to bore me. Each time I visit the trails I encounter something new, a new creature or something interesting on my path. A new rock, which I do put back! (Because the boys used to collect too many rocks! And the long story about my camera bag.. I collected rocks in Arkansas and forgot to put my lens cap back on and scratched my lines up regrettably and permanently 😦 ) or sometimes I do get the itch to skip it across the creek.
And yesterday of course I found a hawk feather! You know my sudden surprise at seeing a bird feather! What mysteries does this feather hold? I’ll wonder…I will keep it and carry it with me each time I go for a walk. A sort of protection I guess. You do remember I met a hawk at work, and I saw some more on my morning walk. Oh the thrill this weirdo birdo had.
I’m going to comprise a bunch of links to my bird doodles for you all to read. In case you forgot that I like birds. You’re welcome!
From latest posts to early:
Here’s to the Winter Weirdo Birdos
Happy New Year from Weirdo Birdo
I think that about sums the birds all up! I didn’t know there were so many!
The first one (birds! And trees…mostly trees) was the second blog post I made back in 2010, so 14 years later…who is still writing about birds, huh? I went through and read my older posts. So much has changed, I don’t even know, I mean motherhood and growing up and all. I cried and I smiled and I don’t know, I wasn’t expecting to hear my voice! because I thought I never had one. But I heard it. It’s just a voice full of love. Or something like that. What a way to figure it out. I’m just glad I still have these pages here to remind me that I do have a mushy good voice, and that I am terribly human.
Solstice Moon
Hello Solstice Moon
Is the solstice Moon keeping me awake these past few nights? Perhaps…
This night is the pinnacle, and perhaps the pinnacle moment of my life too, as it is the full circle. To notice your life is full, and will thus begin again. Hold onto it, all the love you feel inside, with it’s great fullness, reaching up to the sky to illuminate those who look up to see it. Maybe they’ll see you, illuminate too. You can begin again. Maybe it’s not how you thought it would be, but the moon is here tonight and that’s enough to hold a heart like yours.
Solstice Moon keep shining!
Silly Goose, oh okay, no more geese drawings!
Aaah, I must be weird, I must be silly!! Nobody can stop me now!
But seriously you must stop with the geese.
But…I don’t think I will stop!
This is a card!
More Geese
Tomorrow, more Geese but silly geese okay? I’ll make them silly!
And in case you doubted the invasion of geese here are photos to prove it.
Invasion of the Geese
When you go camping, you never know what adventures will befall you. You hope mostly worthwhile adventures and nothing terrifying or deadly right? But you never think perhaps a…Geese invasion! Right? Flocks of geese abound all around you, perhaps just the one flock that just makes it’s flocking way around the entire lake shore of campsites. But either way, there’s a lot. And actually they are completely oblivious of you. But, what they leave in their flocking wake is the deadly part…the Goose Poop. Everywhere, like little green land mines you have to dodge.
That’s just one of our many adventures in camping. Find out for more!
Day and Night, Night and Day
My still obsession with the eclipse of the sun and the relationship between sun and moon, light and dark, day and night, yin and yang etc. I don’t know, even though it looks like it’s a child’s book of childish drawings, I’m onto something right? Some profound philosophical wisdom. The sun and moon are always there, dancing their dance together, doing just what they must do, and there is always something beautiful in just that.
Awkward square face
I could go back to the square faces of yesteryear but I should go back to the square faces of yesteryear (I’ll leave a link of those if you’re not familiar with them). But this is just instead of UGH an AWKWARD. I don’t think I like it. He doesn’t look awkward to me, not at all actually, he just looks pensive. Maybe trying to think and form the words out before fumbling with those words. Quite what I do. I think ahead of what I’ll say and not pick up on anything else but that this is what I said and now I’m panicking because you’re saying something I didn’t anticipate. And you’re upset and I didn’t make anything better, ugh. Oops let me just quietly back away. Okay, now it is awkward…now I see where it gets awkward…
The original square face was featured in my sketchbook project which I mention in that entry. I didn’t take my time and I am not really thrilled with that sketchbook but I’d do the project again with a little more time and make it more like my blog.
Gallbladder card
I was requested, or do I say I had my first commission? to make a card for a friend who’s husband just had gallbladder surgery. I can confirm the card was a success.
If anyone has a request for a card for someone you best I can do just about any body part, brain, head, severed hands, feet, mouth, eyeballs, and now I can add in my repertoire gallbladder. Oh I’ve also done a kidney. So yeah! Code Mush can doodle it all.
