A project I was counting on for my December bills got delayed, so I am wide open to take on larger projects and holiday commissions for December delivery.

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you have seen in the wild:

-Kea
-Humpback whale
-Moose
-Wolf
-Burmese python (invasive)

I'm lucky to live in a very biodiverse continent but also to have been able to travel now and then <3
Introduce yourself with 5 animals you have seen in the wild:

-Roe deer
-European hare
-Purple sea urchin
-Pheasants
-Saker falcon

While pheasants might not seem so interesting, being so common, one of my fondest memories is seeing a family of pheasants with chicks from a train once.
Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild:

-Green sea turtle
-Laysan albatross
-Alligator snapping turtle
-North Atlantic Right Whale
-Peregrine Falcon

This is a good chain and I want to see what folks in other places have seen.

These guys are great! I donate every year and may I suggest that some of the crafts they sell on behalf of the elders make great Christmas presents?
Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

I am a mother from North Gaza. My daughter sees meat in the market and says, "Mama, I want meat," and I’m helpless with no money to buy her anything 😢
Everything is available in the markets, but donations have stopped 💔
Please share and donate to help my daughter 😔
