I will throw in my hat with a few of my favorite sightings, large and small:

Bighorn sheep
Great Blue Heron
Sea otters
Seagull chicks
Walkingstick (the insect)
I feel compelled to break this vicious cycle of "laaaaarge ferocious wild animals" and reintroduce invertebrates huhu

Swallowtails 🦋
Crabs 🦀
Achatinas 🐌
Various caterpillars 🐛
Jellyfishes 🪼
:)
Introduce yourself with 5 animals you have seen in the wild

dear artists,

if you're feeling down today for whatever reason, know that at least you're not being scolded by Le Guin
At’The Word for the World’ exhibition of Le Guin’s maps and it includes what reads as a very irate note to her cover artist about how a dragon should look.

Have you ever heard of an allonautilus? The fuzzy sea peach at the top of my oil painting is the extremely rare allonautlius. Its only been documented in the wild a couple of times.

I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step “for dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

We’ve been reading ‘My Street Remembers’ and creating abstract maps in Grade 2. Ss used sharpies & transparency sheets to trace sections of our Flemingdon Park map and then created abstract collages to go underneath #abstractart #EduSky

ARMENIA (1990)
Oil on Canvas - 22” x 35”

Ar-me-ni-a, city in the sky, a Who song, not the country.

This painting is part of a series dealing with what Barbara Tuchman describes as the disillusionments of twentieth-century man. 1/5
