Another of Ma’s travel souvenirs.


This marionette hangs above a door in Ma’s house. She has no memory of when or where they got it.


I’m a quarter way through the Let’s Botanize prompts. I decided to respond to this one more illustratively than nature journally.

It supposedly serves “Nashville Hot Chicken”. But there are no stores in Tennessee, which makes me wonder how Nashvillians would rate the fare.

More ‘kindergarten’ art.


Petals and sepals, the flower’s outermost parts, are usually the most leaflike. They’re often broad and flat, and many sepals are green enough to photosynthesize, even containing stomata. As flowers evolved, petals became specialized to attract pollinators. Today, most petals have little to no chlorophyll and instead rely on many other pigments for their color.
