Must have patterned these wings

To distort the morning light

And reflect upon flowering leaves

Confidence

Did not elude this magnificent creature

Who at once strode forward

With both delicacy

And strength

A combination of steps which

Indemnified him

Against the occasional puddles

And problems

Is uprooted

By helium vessels

That float

In no particular direction

Another friend, another baby, another project!

Some wonderful friends of ours were hoping I’d be able to paint a mural for them in their baby-to-come’s new room, but because they are renting their place, it wasn’t possible. Instead, they came up with the great idea of buying letters for me to paint.

They gave me free reign as to the direction I could take, which is always fun! After looking at the theme of the room, which is adorable African animals with a variety of sports balls, I came up with this. The imagery is definitely a bit older than the rest of the room’s decor, but I’m thinking this means he’ll be able to grow up with them a bit.

I’m hoping they’ll like them as much as I enjoyed making them.

Typically, I like winter. I really like it. I love getting out in the snow for a good ski and the crispness in the air clears my head.

Since moving to Ft. Collins, CO though, I have found that there is not much winter to be had. There is no snow to ski on and temperatures tend to hover around 30 or 40 degrees. This is precisely the reason why I think I am hankering for spring. I look forward to jogs on trails and hikes to falls, long sunny days, and branches beginning to bloom.

The rope wrapped around the oval shaped sphere. Numerous times it outlined its smooth edges. But it was difficult to say whether it was there as a help or a hindrance. Would the egg crack as it resisted being pulled to a faraway destination; or would it be carefully dropped into a bed of sticks and leaves until a force within cracked its warm white shell?
