Everyone has heard of the Lockness Monster. This is not him. This creature is friendly, and gives tired birds a ride until they can continue their journey. If someone spots him – the birds are on their own.

My sister and brother-in-law love to watch the birds. They have a courtyard with bird feeders and flowering plants all about. When I see them sitting in their comfortable chairs on this patio, I think they are the birds, and their personal piece of paradise is the nest.

We don’t know when they are coming.
We don’t know if they are already here.
We don’t know where they will come from.
We don’t know if they come to conquer or save.
When they get here we will know.

I imagine elephants are practicing more stealth these days, even though it’s hard for an elephant to hide. The next time you are in the jungle, and there are wild elephants around, look deep into the bushes. That is where they like to hide…. and when you shoot them…. use a camera.

This was one of the first cut-paper pieces I created. The idea was to keep it simple – with meaning.
You have to look down to see them. (The bicycles are really small.)

It is traditional in America to dye hard-boiled eggs and hide them in the yard for the kids to find. I don’t believe the kids care why we do this. Their true mission is searching for the eggs with candy or money inside.

There is black, and there is white. Many times there are shades of gray. This is not one of those instances. Sometimes it’s better to simplify life and think in polar opposites.
Does it really matter if it’s a black cat, or a white one. Maybe, in an alternate universe, this version is the original.

Today’s post is from my children’s collection. I’m no longer sure where the idea came from, but it makes sense that elephants would make perfect bookends. The only trouble is, the shelf would have to be really-really strong.

Welcome to Spring
Have you ever watched a cat as it stalks its prey. My sister and brother-in-law have a cat that brings its catch inside and drops it at their feet as a tribute. Usually the poor creature is still alive, requiring a catch and release that would fit perfectly into the script of any TV comedy.
This was created using cut paper, ink, and markers.
After travelling for months, a navigational error has thrown this poor soul off course. When she manages to land on a desolate, rocky world, she stops to pray to the universe for directions. Will she find her way home, and if she does – will it still be there?
This is part of a set of space ships created with cut-paper resembling rock and steel, and a touch of markers.
