I'm in love with this rose:
"Distant Drums"

The buds are deep red and then it bloom into this amazing multi-colored beauty. It keeps changing, becoming more beige as it ages... it's fabulous!

When I started working on this, I watched "David Attenborough's First Life", which has a great discussion of trilobite eyes and how to tell something about it's behavior from them. It helped me make connections. When I started drawing this, I thought the horns were to protect from predators above, then I realized the design would be better if they were straight up for what I was envisioning, these are bent for ramming, to turn and fight back. Now I feel all sciency.

@Alfred I don't know. This seems suspiciously like something that an AI that could actually read minds would say...

Day three of "But what if trilobites had colors like my fancy pillbugs?" Have changed page layout three times. No graphite lines on a single trilobite yet. Am glad I am not a professional with deadlines.

So, if you see an irregular/weird/wonky/misshapen or messed up shrub in an otherwise tidy yard

it *might* mean a bird’s nest with babies was discovered by the landscaper and avoidance measures were taken 💚

(So glad I checked!! 😳😅)

Can't ignore this other Twain quote because, well you know:

“Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason.”

Focused on the artistry of Gaia.

The perfection of a single blossom always brings me peace.
