Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Nearby
…thanks to Sue W and GC for hosting Weekly Prompts https://weeklyprompts.com/2023/09/16/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-nearby/
I’m always amazed at how close wildlife will let you approach them before flying or waddling away. Seagulls are very use to humans but racoons shouldn’t be out in the daytime and this one certainly didn’t move one inch the whole time I took photos. I suspect that he wasn’t well, so I didn’t get too close. The bunny in our backyard is so familiar with us now that he doesn’t even freeze when he sees us.
RDP Friday Challenge – Optimist

These squirrels just never give up. They think they can outwit these ‘squirrel proof’ feeders. Sadly (for me and the birds) they often do.
Well, Hello There!
….sometimes I get to see some unexpected wildlife on my walks
This week the ducklings were playing near the water’s edge with Mom and Dad close behind.
On my way back home as I turned the bend in the road there in the middle of the path stood this lovely rabbit. He stood perfectly still. I think he thought if he didn’t move I wouldn’t notice him but when I stepped closer he hopped off quickly into the tall grass.

Art From Another Corner of the House
….even though I haven’t found time to make art in the last 6 weeks my husband has
For about a year now my husband has been making cartoon drawings every day for our granddaughter. Certain days have themes like Monster Monday and Fishy Fridays. For this past Christmas Winnie gave her Papa a set of markers so that he could add more colour to his drawings.
When I first met Kevin, back at University, he had just finished a graphic design program at his local college and he worked as a graphic designer for the Ministry of Agriculture. When he switched careers in his mid 30s I was a little sad that he gave up his art but his job was changing with the times and computers were the way to go in the graphic design business. Unfortunately the first computers were very expensive and with a young family to think about he switched careers and his artistic side was put on the back burner.
Over the year I’ve seen his confidence grow and his drawings are developing a unique style of their own. This past week he’s gotten a bit of a head start on his drawings and he’s created six birds and a rabbit. Winnie loves to name them or she asks her Papa to give them names, which she often declares are silly. Here are his latest creations.
III’d love to create a children’s book around some of these characters.
My Backyard Visitor
….we’ve either got a lot of rabbits in the neighbourhood or this little fellow gets around
They’re so cute but our garden is suffering. We’ve caught this little guy in the lettuce patch, nibbling the kale and completely destroying the bush beans at the back of the yard.
The one plant that he hasn’t destroyed is the yellow bean plant.
365 Days of Art – Day 60
…this will be the last of my Dr. Seuss characters
After today I think I’m ready to create my own Dr. Seuss like character. Not sure what it will look like but I have a better appreciation of what a Seuss like character should look like.
