Drawings of Dido

I've been catching up on some old favorites from my childhood. Joan Aiken's Wolves of Willoughby Chase series is my current obsession. The newer editions have beautiful covers done by Edward Gorey. His style matches the stories perfectly.

Blowfish Birthdays

We took my little sister to the aquarium for her birthday (and by little I mean she's now 28 years old). The highlight was petting the sharks, we decided stingray petting is for pansies. They also had an octopus and giant Japanese spider crabs that were 12 feet long! Here are my two favorite fishies.

Origami Branches

Delicate origami hanging from woven branches at Krohn Conservative. They cast moving shadows on the floor (with a little help from the sun).

Puppy Love

The newest edition to our animal crazed life. Found her along the side of the highway and we've been nursing her back to health. She needs a very pricey surgery and a forever home but we're working hard on getting her both.
