Koi playing coy

First, note to self: when you become rich, invest in koi pond. It's relaxing.

I came across these pretty fish in San Antonio, TX.... at the alamo, of all places! I spent a good five minutes waiting for a single one to swim by me. They must've warmed up to me eventually, about 10 of them swam back and forth by me after that.

Addendum to note to self: don't give in to the urge to become Crazy Cat Lady. Remember you plan on becoming rich enough to own koi.

Gettin' Married!

Throwback Thursday: Sketches from '03 & '04

Everyone is doing the "throwback Thursday" thing lately, so I'm doing my own sketch book throwback today. I remember being proud of the top one because I drew my niece's face from memory (2004), and the second one (2003) because I made use of the entire page for once. 

Happy tree

This is the tree outside of my balcony. There aren't many trees around here, so it makes me happy when it's nice and green. Hence, happy tree.

Happy Easter!

How great that today is the perfect spring day. Picked these today from right outside my door:

Bun Pun (apologies in advance)

Made this sketch a few weeks ago, but just decided to give it an Easter twist in PhotoHop today. Awful, awful pun....cute sketch?

Sunflowers > Tumbleweeds

Today was the first day it felt like winter was right around the corner, and it was a tumble-weed-a-tumblin' kind of day here in West Texas. Coincidentally, I ran across this photo I snapped on my way to the beach back in July. Ahhh, I feel the warm sunshine and fresh (dust free!) breeze just looking at this.

One last thought: If Plants vs. Zombies were real life, I'd head straight to the town where I took this. Beautiful seas of sunflowers every couple of miles!
