Some pics from the National Zoo a few months ago, before Beh Beh left. Great place to visit if you get the chance. #photographersofcoso
Here is a close up of the body...there aren't all the white dots a swallowtail has....it's really big. https://counter.social/media/tomWqrsiI0-rgBTOXBA
Can anyone help identify this creature? Don't know if it's a butterfly or moth. https://counter.social/media/aQn2yzSxBnFIp4YG_0s
For reasons I won't get in to, they could bore you, my goal today was to get photos of these two that I haven't gotten before. Their eyes, their feet, even butts. Bishop's eyes have many stories behind them, some not so good. These days though, he is one happy soul. https://counter.social/media/ROMG7F9m6Pm4lSSo2eI
I also got to spend time with Bishop's owner, and her other horse, Queenie. Queenie is a Belgian/Quarter Horse cross and seriously, one of the sweetest mares ever. We had to wake the mare up!

I was thrilled to finally spend a morning with my favorite horse, Bishop. He is a magnificent Belgian, comes from an Amish past as a plow horse, he is a 2200 lb puppy. I LOVE this horse! Bish is on the left and naughty Rocky is trying to get his muzzle off him.

I never got to meet this guy to give him this photo. He just, surfed away, down the beach.

Maybe one of you can tell me is this is sail surfing or kite surfing? https://counter.social/media/bweu7SQu3kebRzZX69k
My first vacation in over 15 years. A week of relaxation in Folly Beach, SC.
On the eve of my breast cancer test, I finally finished this. I am feeling a bit accomplished :) Raptors are my next project, Eagles, Hawks, Owls, Falcons and not too sure if there is an Osprey in it but gonna get that started soon. https://counter.social/media/1z3v5xhdzFDAMoMyCuY https://counter.social/media/HOmQ70ZsPcfa4bVog4M
I have a 20 gallon fish tank on my tall kitchen counter that sits in a spot with direct sunlight hitting it for a few minutes each evening. The is the sunlight reflected through the tank on to a rack of napkins. Kinda neat ;) https://counter.social/media/cB9b39e_27uqCP0EHlo
Has anyone else done Pointillism? I did this one a few years ago. It takes a lot of time and patience but it's great for stress release. Pointillism is creating art with dots, all dots. https://counter.social/media/sHtYJJSjBT6Jx3cw_yQ
I have been absent for awhile now, spending time painting. Not my own stuff, actually, paint by numbers. I have to tell you, these kits are NOT like they were when I was a kid. I joined a group of others that are enjoying this hobby on Facebook and that page has actually been attacked by trolls. A freakin PBN site attacked by trolls. We just can't catch a break from them...ever. Maybe here I can share what I am doing to relieve stress.... https://counter.social/media/GtcVceKwOxKq3ZquZ1c
I have a "forceful" passenger now in my car.
