I used my camera’s multiple exposure feature for this flower. I set the flower vase on the window sill to catch the morning sun. I do not know what kind of flower it is.

How To Make A Cat Nervous
Stop with camera
Cat eyes me with suspicion
I’m up to no good?

How to make anyone nervous: stop to photograph something in their direction. I’m very careful on my urban hikes as to what I photograph and try not to intrude on anyone’s privacy. Well, I think I’m being careful but sometimes I still seem to crowd someone’s personal space. I photographed this cat only to have someone yell “HEY!” from over the fence. I explained to the man that I liked the cat’s face and that’s what I photographed. That seemed to alleviate the situation and I continued on without any more interaction. But really, if you want to make someone nervous, just get out your camera.

I’m not sure what this used to be. It almost looks like a gas station, but not really. It is in a residential area but there may not have been zoning restrictions when it was built.

The bluebird was hanging out around its nesting box in the early morning. I was waiting for it with my camera. I think it’s sitting on a rain gauge.

For my final illustration for the online course Natural History Illustration 101, I chose to draw a Dama Gazelle. I used a photograph I took a couple of years ago at an exotic game breeding ranch. I’ve been taking drawing lessons for two years now. I can tell you that had I tried this two years ago, it would have ended up as some version of a stick figure gazelle.
