I bet it takes a long time for a crab to cross the road.

Turkey Vulture
A turkey vulture took up a scouting position on our fence post. I managed to minimize the blurring in a few photos.
Feather on the Ground
I found this feather while waiting for my drawing lesson. I don’t know what kind of bird it belongs to, maybe a pigeon.
Shelter from the Storm
Two blue jays sheltering underneath our picnic table during Hurricane Harvey. We’ve had 10 inches of rain in the last two days, as Hurricane/Tropical Storm Harvey sits at a standstill over Texas.
Purple Poodle Postcard
Lately I’ve been in the mood to create fabric postcards. I forgot to photograph the first one I recently mailed. Here’s is the second: a purple poodle postcard I mailed to Judy.
Here I’ve painted the muslin with fabric paints.
Now it is stitched out.

This last photo is the reverse side. I cover this up with an index card used for the mailing address and my message. The muslin and Peltex start out as 4.5 x 6.5 inches. After I finish sewing, I cut them down to 4 x 6 inches to match the index card. I zig-zag around the edges, securing some cording and the index card.
I attach a First Class postage stamp to it (it’s thicker than the one-layer postcards so it needs more postage), take it to the USPS, stand in line, and have them hand-cancel it. I put it in a clear plastic mailing envelope (not required, but it keeps the postcard from getting anything on it in transit), hand it over, and they mail it.
