Nova, the #humpbackwhale was dancing to the disco tunes that he was singing. #Gull heard him & decided to join the #party. They danced the night away.

Keep it up.

Playing ball is a great way to get to know someone. At The @CentralParkZoo the #chinstrappenguins & the #kingpenguins are in the same enclosure. I gave me the idea to make them become #friends. #birds #aves #Antarctica #FalklandIslandConservation

#Penguins’ first date

#Littleblues like to tell tall tales. #Fairypenguins are the smallest of all #penguins. They are about 14-16” tall. They live in #NewZealand. #birds #aquaticbirds #watercolors #blue #nature #ocean

Larus, the #seagull makes sure that he visits Che, the #greenseaturtle on his way home. They spend lots of time together laughing & telling jokes.
Stay the course. Don’t give up #hope.

Buco, the #groundhornbill, cannot wait to tell Tocky, the #redbreastedhornbill, all about his #African vacation. There are 62 species of #hornbills. #🪶 #birdillustration #watercolorpainting #watercolors #birdpainting #birdlover

Should have kept your caucus together.

#Seagull was blown off course. She decided to ask this #kingpenguin for directions. The #penguin was very happy to help. Too bad the penguin had no sense of direction. #birds #aves #birdillustration #coloredpencils #shortstory #gull #illustration

Hope you had a #HappyHalloween! These king #penguin #friends are dressed up as #fishermen.
These #birds have 4 layers of insulating #feathers. The outer layer is oily, creating a waterproof layer. #watercolorpainting #birdillustration #painting #watercolors #friendship #fun #nightsky #nature #ice

It is Sunday joke night. Every week these #toucans get together & tell each other funny stories. #tocotoucans are pretty, little #birds. #birdpainting #birdillustration #watercolorpainting #birdlover #nature #rainforest #penandink

Thank Goodness for the lower courts, otherwise all would be lost. Too bad the SC sold their integrity to T. The SC has lost all credibility. The title ,”Justice”, was there for a reason (or used to be).

I really wish you would.

A belated Happy #WorldRhinoDay! #keepthefivealive!

It is really wrong that you were cancelled. We are all entitled to Freedom of Speech in this country. You made my night, I will miss your monologues. Keep speaking out on any platform that you can. Thank you, Jimmy.

#Mouse is always ready to tell a funny story & Kifaru, the #whiterhino is always ready to listen. Everyone needs a good laugh. #Whiterhinos can weigh 6000 lbs each, but their brains are the size of a man’s fist. #coolcreatures #keepthefivealive #pencilsketch #rhino #rhinosketch

#Raccoon likes to listen to #bear as he reads books aloud. Raccoon likes to listen to the funny voices that Bear gives each character. #pen&ink #watercolors #fun #storytime

@debbieohi.com just saw the most helpful & amazing talk by Debbie Ohi. Thank you! #scbwi #illustrations #humor

What zoo?

The name means nothing. The content should have been changed & much of it deleted.

Been awhile since I have #sketched anything. #Fun! Did this while waiting for my food @Villaggiosrestaurant. #Rhinos are some of my favorite creatures. #Indianrhinos or #greateronehornedrhinos keep cool due to a great adaptation. Water remains in those creases after the rhino leaves the wallow.

My #sign for the #Handsoff #rally tomorrow. Let #yourvoice be heard.
#magicmarkers #nature #saveourparks We #sharetheplanet. We don’t own it.

Pia, the #phalarope just returned from her travels. She is so excited to tell her friend, Ruby the #caribou all about it. This #bird is #migratory as are Both creatures live in the #Arctic. #grass #mountains #spreadjoy #childrensillustration #birdillustration #animalillusration

#Flamingos are long legged birds that are toe walkers. That backward bend at what looks like where the knee would be, is actually the ankle. What looks like the thigh is the shin. You cannot see the thigh bone. Ha! Ha! #birdpainting #birdfacts #birds #feathers #birdsofafeather #spreadjoy #nature

Thank you so much. That would be great.

Waiting for the Instafish delivery. #Puffins spend most of their lives out at sea. They don their colorful beaks during mating season. They do mate for life & return to their same burrow. #seaparrots #watercolors #watercolorpainting #penandink #kidslearning #nature #birds #birdpainting #fun #joy

Not enough, Senator. You are speaking to the choir. You need a larger audience & you need to tell people what programs are actually at stake.

“Would you mind picking up some extra herring for me?”
#Puffins have spikes on their tongues & the roof of their mouth. They can hold many fish in that colorful (during mating season) #beak. #watercolors #spreadingjoy #nature #kidlit #birdillustration #birdpainting #funart

Started #drawing a #hornbill before dinner at our favorite restaurant. As you can see, I finished the #sketch after my meal. #groundhornbill #bird #illustration #pencildrawing #birdart #art
A hornbill has a #casque on top of his or her beak. It is thought that the casque may act as an amplifier.

It is always #fun to hangout with #friends & spread some #joy. #watercolors #brownbear #bear #bunny #rabbit #animalpainting #art #childrensart
