Puddles in Twilight

Just my usual wanderings around with my camera! There were some very strong storms today that lasted a few hours, and around evening time the skies began to clear and I felt myself stirring. I was in my usual gloom and doom mood, so I got myself out on a walk which usually helps. And I saw a crane! (of course he was moving too fast for me to capture it) and I forgot, this is the crane life! I was supposed to embody the crane this year. Crane Power! Perhaps I did, but was expecting results, like something great to happen. But I guess in small bursts.  I think something did change though. But it’s usually the kinds of changes that one cannot describe. Maybe they are reflected in these puddles.

You are the Crane! And also there are hamsters in the pumpkin patch

Yes, I have transformed into the crane! I spread good fortune, love to all. I’ve become the weirdo birdo I vowed to become at the beginning of 2024. So I’ve stayed pretty consistent. And obsessive. Which are the great attributes of an artist!

And then now for something completely different:

Hamster Thursday: Hanging in the Pumpkin Patch

Next week I’ll elaborate on the Mush days of the week. So far, my kids enjoy Monday Brain, Tuesday the Cat, Wednesday the Dog, Hamster Thursday ( which is new, it used to be Thursday the T-Rex), and Snake Fridays (used to be Franken Friday).

Crane Power coming your way!

Cranes instead of Storks? Why not?

I wanted to make a card for a friend who is having a baby, and something to give because that’s what I do..but I didn’t want to do the typical stork, I wanted to draw a more graceful bird. And I went with a crane.

And cranes are symbols of good fortune and longevity. And perhaps an origami crane for the little one as well? Ugh why so thoughtful? Why

Oops, must have been a mix up…it’s a fuzzy wuzzy baby birdie!

I’ll probably decide to just chunk it.

I could be a graceful crane. Instead of flying to everyone and delivering babies, delivering love and appreciation.

Okay, I think I found my calling in life…the crane life. ❤️
