A ditital drawing made in Krita - the background shows the Rocky Mountains and foothills as seen from Denver, rendered with the mild snowfall characteristic of this winter, against a grey sky. In the foreground on the right is a stylized pine tree atop a snowy hillside with a Hunt's bumblebee (B. huntii) wearing a top hat labeled 2026 placing a star (styled as a ball of light) on top of the tree. To the left of the bee, red cursive text reads "Peace and Joy in the New Year."

Just finished up two afternoons wrestling with krita to make a holiday card template for my mom - hopefully this bumblebee and her (and my) good wishes make up for the month-long absence (yikes, sorry everyone)
