A Purple-Washed Eyed-Metalmark butterfly painted digitally. Its pointed, scalloped edged chocolate brown wings have large eye markings on the top set, framed by purple lines. The lower wings see those lines reverse to brown with a pale metallic purple background. The entire butterfly is accented in gold leaf on a dark background. A small preview image of all 29 of my recent butterfly series arranged in a pleasing color order. A preview image of digital paintings of 30 succulent plants ranging from pink to red and through the rainbow, including neutrals. These succulents are all chosen for their natural, if sun-stressed colors. They are set in neat rows on a black background to showcase the amazing color range. A pale woman in a royal blue cloak and dusty purple dress steps down a rocky hillside in a towering pine forest. The autumnal brush covers the hillside around her, and the light filtering down through the trees catches browning pine needles. Behind her a gray blue highlights a clearing she recently left.

Brach’s! They’re the original I’m told, but not sure how true that is.

I remembered after 1 piece. 😂 Actually allergic to the protein bees use to process pollen into honey so I’m fairly sure I didn’t get enough to do any real harm.

More miffed I remembered how much I like it.

Agh. Dangit. Forgot good candy corn has honey in it. Honey I’m allergic to.

Thankfully I’m on every histamine suppressant known to man. 😅

Hey, Alaska's been hit by a typhoon and no one is talking about it. Indigenous towns are in need of aid. People are missing and the gov't is still shut down.

If any creators here are in affected areas, please drop links for aid.

#Birdtober Day 13: Gray Heron

Bonus Great Blue Heron from last year's Birdtober. I was nervous about this prompt because I wanted to be sure they looked different enough without drawing the full body for either of them. I'm happy with how they both turned out!

Hey thanks! Trying to get more intentional with my mark making and graphite and charcoal used to be my favs for that.

Translate scenes into modern English and watch what happens.

You know what got me into Shakespeare?

I played Katerina in a fight scene from Taming of the Shrew complete with physical blocking, and HAD to understand what I was saying.

Only time for a quick sketch for #Birdtober ‘s grey heron tonight. Took over some kiddo bedtime duties since Inkhand is feeling poorly.

Stuck with digital graphite in #Procreate.

A pencil drawing of a grey heron perched on a rock, clawed feet gripping. Its wings are slightly flared, and we see its serpentine neck in profile as it eyes the viewer from the side. It looks as though it maybe just landed there.

The long neck of herons and egrets are soelegant! Perfect for harmonious lines in drawing 🎨
Did you know that herons fly with their necks folded, while cranes and storks keep them stretched out? 🪶

Let me tell you I am pleased as punch.

We also had a chat about the fact that dad and I are in tech and we know more than most people, and people who don’t know better might just believe ads etc and haven’t learned any better.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago 31 A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo. The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview. “My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese. From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett. The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

10yo stories from 5th grade:
“Teacher blocked a kid’s access to the internet today because he was using ChatGPT to do his geography homework. Which is so stupid. Because it could have been wrong AND cheating was wrong. Anyway, if you don’t understand stuff you can’t have any new ideas about it.” 🥹

Speaking as someone who has a bone spur in my sacroiliac joint (likely formed after the bone there actually CRACKED) people can get effed. Lol.

I think they’re afraid women will stop having babies altogether, I also think there’s something to be said for hormones fuzzing out memories.

Same rose! What’s the difference? Night time temps in the 40s. #FlowerReport #roses #BloomScrolling #GardenSky
A rose flower on a trellis with salmon petals shading to bright pink on a few edges. The variety is Golden Opportunity. A bright gold rose on a trellis, the variety is the same! Golden Opportunity.
