Today, Internet, I would like to share with you a photo of a chickadee holding a grub in its beak, on its way to feed its babies, who lived in a little house in a tree in my yard.
Please note this photo contains an actual lens flare. I am just that awesome.
Doesn’t this bee look holy? I mean, with the ethereal sun spotlighting the center of the flower, and her looking all golden against the contrasting purple of the petals…?

I haven’t drawn a self portrait in about 8 years– wait, that’s a lie– there must’ve [...]
I am back from visiting family in Florida.
Oh Florida, you are so warm. I think I have post-trip depression.
