I took a break from #HaikuSaturday last week to just bathe in nature for a bit. But now I’m back and I brought a friend 😉

Mockingbird shrugs.

my own business here.”

Yesterday was #DrawABirdDay… it helped to focus on art and nature to forget the stress of the horrific news for a short bit. Done with ink and Tombow markers.

This is one of the many #Sanderlings we saw in the Destin area this past week. 🪶 #birding

I’m reading this gem! It’s a delightful distraction from the horrors of the news.

Happy New Year to all! Here’s hoping 2026 will be better🤞🏼(I drew this in 2016, another tumultuous year, and 2017 did turn out to be a better year, at least on a personal level and dump didn’t manage to burn everything to the ground that year)

They're good folks!

This might be the perfect snack…popcorn from Amish Popcarn air-popped, drizzled with EVOO from Italy via Costco and seasoned with Fox Point Seasoning from Penzey’s 😍😍 Tons of fibre, good fat, and not from asshole companies.

What a wonderful world it could be…

Y’all, I don’t care if I never get another agent because I got me a Christmas Owl! 🤎 Yup, on our Classified Forest and Wildlands property 😍(Also this is totally my daily vibe 😴😴)

It’s Saturday again. I feel like life is passing me by.

But…

Oh, to have the joie
de vivre of this titmouse in
spirited bathing!

Love being on the same stage as my friends, @heidieys.bsky.social @barbrosenstock.bsky.social @joycewanbooks.bsky.social @bandersonwriter.bsky.social and @lisaljrogers.bsky.social 🤩 Thank you, Astra Kids Books and @ala-booklist.bsky.social!

You can enjoy the sounds of melting snow in the video 😆

It dropped to -1F the previous night here and we still have snow on the ground. At least it’s not blizzard conditions…but I am writing an ER book about blizzards (and other severe weather phenoms) for MIT Kids Press! ❄️❄️❄️

It’s #HaikuSaturday, kids…

Glassy-eyed chipmunk
contemplating the havoc
it can wreak today.

Gee, sounds like the psycho-in-chief and all the republicans 😑

It’s beginning to look a lot like Ch—ilis…. 🌶️🌱

Happy #HaikuSaturday … because art—and science—makes life better (something the White House occupants don’t know).

Fully saddled up,
waits patiently for rider
with leafhopper zen.

I serendipitously spotted this sweet Saddled Leafhopper while walking around the property last weekend. #IchigoIchie

Happy birthday to #BruceLee who would have been 85 today!

Learn more about him and the pivotal moment of his career in WHO SMASHED HOLLYWOOD BARRIERS WITH GUNG FU? BRUCE LEE, a biographical #GraphicNovel for middle graders, illustrated by Ryan Inzana #kidlit @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social

Orange and rotund,
stupidly caught in a web
that he’s denying.

#HaikuSaturday
It would seem that I’m back to political subtexting again 🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s a Leaf Beetle of some sort. 🪲🕸️

Send a copy of WHO SMASHED HOLLYWOOD BARRIERS WITH GUNG FU? BRUCE LEE, a biographical #GraphicNovel (written by me, illustrated by Eisner nominee Ryan Inzana and published by #PenguinWorkshop, @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social) to a friend with these awesome USPS stamps!

It’s so commonplace that it’s in this slim volume of Peterson First Guide to Caterpillars!

Thanks so much, Susan! 🥰 Yeah, this critter is truly psychedelic looking 😆 Here’s a top view…

Two of my favorite author friends - @tanyakonerman.bsky.social and @kimlongmg.bsky.social -from different circles randomly got seated next to each other at Books By the Banks! What are the odds? 😍 Go say hi and buy their books if you're in Cincinnati! #kidlit

So pretty! 😍 They really are like gemstones. We had to dig all of ours up before the first frost, and now some of them are sprouty.

Happy #HaikuSaturday!

Wild and free-ranging,
riderless Saddleback holds
its own destiny.
