I'm reading:

The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett. I'm reading it with my eight year old daughter. It's a fantasy story about young girl. I'm always on the lookout for age appropriate stories with strong female protagonists and Tiffany Aching is a strong female protagonist. I'm enjoying the book. My daughter and I both laugh out loud regularly while reading it. Voicing the Wee Free Men is...

I'm not entirely sure it counts as a breakup song, but I totally relate to the fact that the guy is waiting for his woman to call, and she doesn't. He has no idea where he stands in the relationship, and now what is he supposed to think? Is she out with another man? Has she...

I was thinking about the stories of time gone by. Stories that have become myths. And these myths in turn, as the ages pass, have slipped away. New people, new lands, new stories, each in turn slipping into that deep and faraway place we sometimes connect into and call it a dream.

Doing some research, I found the artist who created this is Bryan Larsen.

He does a lot of imagery involving astronomy and children (so I'm tagging @genuinemommy in this thread, 'cuz it might be up her alley!)

I'll start with a few from my trip to Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, SC earlier this week. Apologies for the Photobucket compression, it does the 7D and 70-200 f/2.8L combination no justice.

I always like hearing your thoughts about my work. With a WIP like this one, the conversation I have in my creative process with my work becomes informed by other conversations. When those other conversations are about the WIP, that's a pretty cool thing

Please post any B&W that gets your attention.

If you took it, some details would be great!

If it's someone else's work, giving them credit would be great (unfortunately that info isn't always available, IME).

If we could keep this SFW, that would also be great.

If you want to share images with nudity or an erotic theme, the previously mentioned...

Do you have theme music that you feel represents you?

I confess that I watched the L Word even though it pissed me off because no LGBTQ person I knew lead a life like that of Bette And Tina and their friends. (Side note... I will always hate Jenny) A lot of lady artists I like can be heard while watching that show. Sleater-Kinney, Erin McKeowen, Tegan and Sara, and more. It's disappointing because I hated the theme song.

This shouldn't have made me as happy as it did:...
