Yesterday, orcas plied the waterways of Central Puget Sound from Seattle to Tacoma. Up north reports of orcas in Possession Sound where grays were keeping a presence as well.

Three children riding a passengers on a bicycle. School bags are in the front crate. One child is in front of the drivers seat but behind the handlebars. The other two kids are on the back seat. The bike is a Fr8 by WorkCycles
With gas prices soaring, some people might search for cheaper transportation options. In many cites, a bicycle is a cheap and easy way to get around gas free. Give it a try.
An original artwork of a robin redbreast perched on a branch, created using watercolour paints on A4 watercolour paper.
The European Robin holds a deep, significance in folklore as a protector of the dead, often linked to the care of souls and the covering of unburied bodies. This belief is cross-cultural, with the robin seen as a compassionate intermediary between the living and the dead.

Jayson Tatum warming up. I don’t think the smile has left his face since he walked into TD Garden today.

It's true you've had thunderstorms. That's very rare at this time of year. We're supposed to have them during the day.
Goodnight from Colorado 💙 💤

You might have a love-hate relationship with daylight saving time, but research shows that urban wildlife may stand to benefit

Illustration of poppy anemone (Anemone coronaria) flowers in natural size, featuring five blossoms in shades of deep purple, white with yellow center, vibrant red, and soft pink. The flowers have distinct dark central disks and rounded petals. Surrounding lush green, deeply lobed leaves are detailed. Insets show botanical details: a cross-section of the flower’s reproductive parts, a seed head, and a seed. The illustration is from an 1896-97 publication on favorite garden and greenhouse flowers, highlighting the botanical accuracy and delicate coloration typical of vintage botanical art.

Swahili Sparrow from Tanzania on ebird by Alan Van Norman for #BirdsSeenIn2026
Pale blue striped flowers with mid-green foliage. The Lebanon squill is native to the mountains of Lebanon, Iraq, Iran and Syria. Flowering here in Yorkshire in peace. A poignant sight in these troubled times.
I planted loads of these beautiful little Puschkinia libanotica (Lebanon squill) in my own garden, but none have come up. Either they couldn’t cope with my heavy clay soil (probable) or the local wildlife ate them.
Never mind, at least there were plenty flowering at Harlow Carr today to enjoy. 😊

Ink sketch of the garden with watercolour (and a gardener in a hat). The object just off centre at the bottom is a driftwood sculpture which is slowly decaying
This is a sketch of the garden at the front of the studio. Includes twisted hazel which I really like to draw.
A couple of garden sketches from last summer, ink and watercolour. Already planting seeds for this year including some sunflowers which look great in a busy mixed flowerbed.
"...give us those nice bright colors / give us the greens of summer / make us think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah! / I got a Nikon camera, / love to take a photograph..."

Question 🙋♀️ I’m going to be painting more American birds.
So far I have:
- Cardinals (male & female)
- Carolina Wren
- Dark-eyed junco
- Bald Eagle (nearly finished)
What other American birds would you like to see captured in watercolours?
Two wading birds silhouetted by the light and reflected in the water's surface.
The theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #StandingInWater.
Gone for a bit of an arty one today. Two waders which I think are probably redshanks; bills a bit short for godwits.

'The Morning Ride, Copenhagen.'
Bicycles were the perfect vehicle for a new generation of painters looking for subjects that would express their experience of the modern age. This work (1907) by Erik Ludvig Hennimoder depicts the new leisured classes.
