It’s a fritillary, their host plant is the passion flower vine Spp. Passiflora. I have one huge vine that they decimate every decade or so with multiple generations of caterpillars. Love them, they’re hard to get good pictures of, very fast moving.

When birds saw humans give an injured bird special treatment.😅

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

Hand painted Mary vase to represent Dia de Los Muertos that holds used paintbrushes and paper marigolds on art table.

I have my paintbrush muse. She holds all the rag-tag worn out brushes. When I add one, one has to go.

Art Walks are always a good time. Gets the brain thinking, talking to people about the hows and whys of art making is inspiring on its own. It’s not about money, it’s about connecting with your fellow human. And if they like a piece enough to purchase, appreciate. that’s even better.

Grey and white cat lying calmly on a rug, with extra toed front paws crossed.

Miss Artemis of the 22 toes is trying a new tactic to get the door open. Polite patience. The youngest, most high strung cat of 4. As opposed to climbing, running, meowing. It’s a new day. :)

Bees play a critical role in U.S. food production. In addition to making honey, they pollinate 75% of the fruits, nuts and vegetables grown in the U.S. That's $15 billion worth of crops. Shook said the current losses are unsustainable. "If this is a multi-year thing, it'll change the way we consume food in the United States," Shook said. "If we lose 80% of our bees every year, the industry cannot survive, which means we cannot pollinate at the scale that we need to produce food in the United States."

Hundreds of millions of bees, almost 80% of bees in the US, have died over he past eight months. Researchers don't know why.

Here is what this means:

We have a serious problem with addiction in this country, and its technology. Hopefully we’ll get to that point once the situation is dire enough. Turn it all off go outside, stay home etc. This is a start at least. As a small business orders will go out tomorrow. Attempting to disengage properly.

I could swear at the beginning this was to be a full economic blackout. No buying, no paying for unnecessary services. No social media, then it altered as people couldn’t bear to disengage, then local small is ok. It’s changed from what it started as, I think.

Art piece for the day. Second floral bowl for this Vintage Monkeypod wood Heart dish. One more and then I’ll paint some flower shaped bowls for Spring.

I had it on my right side ribcage. This was right after covid started, before vaccine was available here. Whenever I’m feeling unwell, I get shooting nerve pain where it was.

If you’re in your 50’s please get your shingles vaccines asap. I would not wish shingles on my worst enemy. It’s up there, second only to a necrotic gall bladder. I put emergency c-section below it on the pain scale, if you can imagine that. To my and my dad’s knowledge I never had chicken pox.
