There isn’t much for our Supreme Court to hear, the Constitution is already clear. And just to be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.

Just a thin layer of ice on roadways is enough to make driving hazardous⚠️

Bridges and overpasses are especially prone to ice formation that is difficult to see, as winds beneath the structures accelerate cooling and maintain lower surface temperatures.

Remember -- Ice or snow take it slow!
Don't Let Black Ice Sneak up On You. It can form on any road, but also along curbs and drainage areas due to melting snow. More prevalent at night, but can still be around in the morning. Don't drive during freezing temperatures after rain or snowmelt.

The image is of a comic. Panel one depicts Santa Claus. He says, "Have you been naughty or nice?" Panel two depicts a happy dog. He says, "I am ALWAYS a good boy." Santa responds "Very nice!" Panel three depicts Santa again. He says "...And you?" Panel four depicts an orange cat climbing a Christmas tree, turning his head to look back at Santa.

When my partner saw my previous #kidlitartpostcard he challenged me to make a forward-facing version. So here it is!

I love illustrating busy scenes, vibrant colours and silly animals ❤️

An illustration of a child with a bunch of birds facing forward. Birds include a Major Mitchell Cockatoo, a blue footed Booby and a Barn Owl. The boy still has his net for some reason, and there are still no insects to be found.

This is Coe Fen in Cambridge, a watercolour drawing from 1998. The tower in the middle distance is the Pitt Building and the other tower is the United Reform Church. This was done on the spot with watercolour and Indian ink.

Watercolour drawing of Coe Fen in Cambridge, high summer with lots of wild flowers. A lovely place to sit (mind the cow pats though!)
