Well, what with cold and otherwise induced brainfog, this was a dead month, blogging-wise. Let’s start the next one off, then.

I’m way more proud than I should be about finishing the Zodiac Chickens series. If you want to see all on one view, try the “Zodiac” tag.

Insect Photos:

Stag beetles are supposedly very rare, yet we keep finding them in our garden. I think it’s because our family tends to leave treestumps in the earth; the beetles’ larvae feed on rotting wood.

Flowers and other Nature stuff:

And some old-ish buildings:

I did some... well, can't really call it tidying up yet, but sorting of stuff, including some getting rid of stuff I really don't want or need anymore. I also emptied out a big plastic box that had been sitting under the table (it was half full with old newspapers, so that wasn't THAT difficult), and anything that I don't want anymore, but I can't bring myself to throw away, will go in there, and at some point I'll try to get rid of it at a flea market.

There was also some playing around with paint (which is productive, because I can figure out stuff, like "lemon yellow layered over ultramarine blue does NOT result in green").

I drew an overdue exchange image (which was included in my last post), which was kinda half-assed (it's not bad for what it is, but I prefer doing better than an inked portrait), but since the recipient needs an adoption image due to having been stiffed, I'll make up for that with that adoption.

I also set up the next round of the exchange.

For the last post with the gallery update I went through two years' worth of photos looking for ones to upload.

The images also started appearing on deviantart (I had planned to upload the zodiac chickens throughout the LAST week, but apparently I zoned out or something), and I got my messages there under control again. The images for me to look at has passed the 400 mark, so it was past time.

And I cooked a pot of pasta sauce.
And I put the camera batteries to recharge overnight, because I want to take a little trip tomorrow.

Yep, definitely starting to feel better.
