Dear Deer

Curiosity doesn't only kill cats.

Distant Mountains

I think I need to go climb a mountain.

You?

Light as a Feather

Which is heavier... a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?

Lady Bugs

The fresh morning dew hung on the edge... she stepped ever so carefully forward.

Dew was more precious than gold.

Ball and Chain

Things have been a little tough at the office...

... sorry for not sketching lately.

:)

This Side Up

The dragonfly had flown miles before he realized he was holding the map upside down!

Can't Bear to think about it...

Most people don't know that the Raccoon is actually in the BEAR family!

Inching Along

The inchworm took a morning stroll in his brand-new hiking boots.

Stu Contemplates a New Adventure

Stu stepped out onto his cliff-side balcony and smelled the crisp ocean air.

He had a feeling inside that seemed to say "Time for Another Adventure!"... but then again, it could be heartburn... they are quite similar.

Clip-ons

Clip-on glasses have certainly changed the snake world!

Image being sight-impaired and NOT having any ears either!

Narrow Escape

Last night I was hand feeding wax worms to my leopard gecko.

As I held out an especially plump wax worm, the gecko inadvertently grabbed hold of my finger... and the wax worm escaped out the side!

Curious Fish

We had fish for dinner last night and I happened to glance over at our nearby fish tank.

This is what I saw...

Nothing but a Dreamer

Stu relaxed in his easy chair wondering when the next adventure was going to fall on him.

Global Warming

As the spring thaw continues... we find small creatures that prefer the colder climates!

Squirrel on the Run

The cautious squirrel crept slowly toward the bagel.

It would be only seconds before the owner came back with a fresh cup of coffee.

Krill

I've never met a krill I didn't like.

The Velveteen Penguin

Here is a character in my latest children's book.

Being real has it's advantages and disadvantages in Antarctica!

Carry your Cross

My wife and 2 daughters are headed for Jamaica as an outreach from our church.

I was there last summer and realized how much we [USA] take for granted when we seem to have 'everything'.

Everyone has their own cross to bear... daily.



Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me."

Matthew 16:24

Put on your Best Face

Jill was in such a hurry for her job interview, she inadvertently put on her silly face.

Aliens

When the aliens read the news headlines... they decided to hold off on any abductions for a while.

It was fairly apparent that worse things were currently happening on earth.

Cabin Fever

I went canoeing this past weekend.

We launched in front of a friends cabin... it looked like this.

Peep on Gravity

Peep was casually taking a stroll under an apple tree... and found out just what Newton did.

Except that I don't think Sir Isaac got apple sauce up his nose.

I'd walk a Mile for a Camel

Well, perhaps half a mile... provided he didn't spit on me.

Brush your Beak

My dentist says... "Only brush the teeth you wanna keep."

Peep on Football

Peep decided to try to lose a few pounds and figured SPORTS was the way to go.

He was having some trouble convincing himself that Football was the right choice.

What a boar

You know... some people are just like this.

You sit and listen and listen and wonder if they are going to ever say anything worth repeating.

:)

Snooze

The alarm went off today and I hit the snooze... 5 or 6 times.

It was great... Especially since I took the day off work.

I had NO guilt, NO worries...

I wasn't about to turn off the alarm altogether either... not with a beautiful reminder every 9 minutes of the fact that I DIDN'T have to wake up!

:)

I should do this more often!

I ain't Lion

This morning I was tasked to work on a logo for a new residence hall under construction at Baylor University.

This was part of my sketching/design...

... thought I'd share a piece of work... that was worth sharing.

:)

Monday's are for the Birds

Good grief.

It was difficult getting up today... nothing new.

I don't know how the birds do it... the were all up... chirping and hopping around our yard when I dragged my sorry self from the pillow.

Noah's Ark

I remember as a kid seeing a movie about Noah's Ark.

How it was still ice-packed and sitting on top of Mount Ararat somewhere in Tibet.

I wonder why there hasn't been more investigation...

Sure would be cool to see them bring it down somehow so we could see what a 'cubit' really was!

:)

Pattern Mapping

The first thing a baby chick sees when it pecks out from it's egg is 'pattern mapped' as it's mother.

This is quite evident in toads as well.

The mother duck had a tough time shaking the happy little hoppers that were born near her nest.
