Blue Head

What's this, you may ask?
Beats me.

Swallowtail

Being a lazy dazybones I
only drew half of this butterfly
in 1978. In 2009 I flipped the
image to add the other wings.

A mimic?

It's not a monarch..I think
it's one of those freeloading
butterflies with similar markings
to fool predators, but no
poisonous taste.

Swallowtail

Also taken prisoner
in Florida....

Florida butterfly

I suppose it wouldn't be
difficult to identify this
particular butterfly...I
caught it in Florida in 1978...
sketched it from life and
then, like the saint I am,
released it unharmed.

I Wake Up Screaming

Who would have thought
that Victor Mature was a
native of Louisville?

Nuts to me

I've been making my
own nut mix...here are
a few of my staples:
walnut, almond and cashew!

Lilydipper

The lake level has dropped
quite a bit in the last few
years, but the dog Rodney
still finds enough depth in
which to splash about,
patrolling for bluegills.

hornet nest

This nest hangs right
near the door into my
mom's cottage.

potted plant

During the tournament
in Edina, I stayed at friends'
house...this is a plant in
the lower level.

Sometimes a Great Actor....

I'm going on vacation and
will draw lots of pictures.
Enjoy this portrait of
Charlton Heston I drew
in 1978 for some unknown reason.
