Sharing a recent collaboration with super talented artist @racheldarker.bsky.social. She brought one of my haiku to life, including local folklore/symbology in the piece. This is wonderful, I love it. Look forward to future collabs 😊🕊️✨

clouds tangle
gazing up I like
being small

This is a photo I took of cirrus clouds and altocumulus clouds over a blue sky. Their wispy streaks feel like brush strokes behind rounded taps of sheer paint. You can feel the wind pulling this scene from left to right. As a child, adults and children bullied me for being different. My autoimmune disorder didn’t help the situation, because it kept me small, and we all know size is a shallow mind’s favorite joke. I used to wish that I would grow big like an elephant, and then I’d be impervious. Half-pint, shrimp, small fry, munchkin, baby doll, Polly Pocket, mouse, and the list goes on. But this is not my sad story. In fact, it’s another reason I love clouds. They have always made me feel happy, despite my size, or any size, beneath them . . . we’re all small. Inspired by our fluffy friends above, here's my latest free verse haiku: clouds tangle gazing up I like being small

stunning sunday silence- the deserted park, where a banished queen planted roses to forget about the tragedy of her life. Just the noise of the distant fountain and a sarcastic crow croaks a story of withering roses and forbidden love

November morning
crow black
is the only sound

"Balancing Art" by Josh Hartnett. A picture of a large sculpture - that of a silver metal ballerina elegantly balanced on a metal palm of an upward held hand. The arm/hand/palm is rusted and extended from the ground. As currently displayed at NZ Sculpture OnShore exhibition which supports/raises funds for Women's Refuge NZ. The sky is blue with big fluffy white clouds slowly drifting by. In the distance and across the turquoise waters of the strait, Rangitoto (volcano) lazily watches the ballerina's performance. The thick grass surrounding the sculpture is lush, wild, and green as. Native trees frame both sides of the statue. It's a stunner of a day.

I love how the undersides of leaves make raindrops bead up. #Sunday #StunDay #AutumnLeaves #Raindrops #Fall #PNW #Rain #Nature #Photography #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice
A stunning mat of fallen, wet, red and pink maple leaves on the ground. A smaller leaf with its pink underside holds beads of raindrops, while the bigger leaves underneath are glossy red with black specks. They’re so pretty.

Applique scene of an amber cat next to one vase of flowers and another that he's knocked over, with the fly he was chasing perched on his tail. Closeup of the applique cat, looking down at the vase he just knocked off the table. Closeup of the applique fly perched on the cat's tail. Closeup of the knocked over vase with flowers and leaves falling.

So much Watership Down love today... I couldn't resist 🐇
Drawing of a simply-shaped black rabbit leaping over stylized black flowers with white details on their leaves and petals. There is a large moon hovering in the back of the image and the sky transitions from purple at the top to an orangish-red at the bottom.

Pelican and Panda Went To Sea
oil on paper
16 x 20.5

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.

Story-ALTtext⬇️
An oil painting of a pelican and a panda in a small sailboat. Here we are, on the shore of the sea of shenanigans, ready to row our way across in a boat called The Malarkey. And what fine companions we have on this seafaring day! The world we're living in has me thinking of the beautiful pea-green boat. We're all in the boat together, after all. We're all downstream from someone and upstream from another. We share air, sky, water and land. We share sunshine and moonlight and wind and rain. I believe there is enough for all, if only humans would share. Which, apparently, we do not. Well, some humans don't share. And so. Need a penny, take a penny. Have a penny, leave one. A simple thought, easy to do. If your cupboard has extra, share it with a bare cupboard. If your wallet is full, pass some moolah to an empty purse. And if your boat has room, maybe let someone on board And if your heart has the capacity to love more (safely, of course) then spread some love around. Because if Pelican and Panda can figure it out, so can we. Now, I'm heading out to sea in The Malarkey. Want to join me?
