Congratulations on the 2! Also people who don't pick up after their dogs or, worse, pick up and chuck the bagged waste into woods, deserve aggressive eye contact and possibly even a loud "excuse me you dropped that!"

Go Jays! I'm doing the Birdtober art challenge, and Friday is Artist's Choice, so I'm definitely doing a Blue Jay that day for Game 6.

Also I got lucky to get this in 3.

Birdtober Day 27: California Condor. Water-based markers on ohuhu marker paper.

#Birdtober2025 #CaliforniaCondor #WaterBasedMarkers #Birds
Water-based marker portrait of a flying California Condor from below, the way most of us might see one. It's such a huge bird, with a 3m wingspan - imagine seeing one! All you would really see are the wings outstretched, as shown here, as it looks for food. This bird is shown against a white background.

Thanks! For some reason it came to me fairly easily today but that's definitely not the norm.
