A photograph of an illustration on Kraft card with a Posca paint pen on top of a green and gold embellished spiral bound planner. The illustration shows a blushing crab with claws outstretched and a little heart. The text reads 'I love you more than this!* *Even when I'm crabby'. Art by Emily Jane Foster.

I must have hit the wrong button while processing this image as it turned out very blue. Who knows what I did. Maybe I shouldn't have had that cocktail as the Lightroom sliders get a little slippery when I do. But I kinda liked it. #photography #landscapephotography #longexposure #EastCoastKin

For "sketch a fish using a single line" #SundayFishSketch theme assigned by Rene, here's a milkfish / 虱目魚 / sat-ba̍k-hî / Chanos chanos, a relished staple of Taiwanese cuisine and aquaculture. I enjoyed some 虱目魚羹麵 in Tainan the other day! #TaiwanFishes #台灣魚類 #臺灣魚類 🦑🐡🧪
