Our Animal Friends and Perennial Favorites

Hubby came home tonight after eight but still was game enough to labor over my drawings, the prospect of sharing the works of creativity overcoming the body fatigue.

These drawings feature some domesticated animals whose company some of us may treasure over the human kind, some becoming our best friends. And then there are the perennial favorites: the flowers. A smorgasbord of interests that fill us with serenity.

Hubby thought they look more like little chicken on their maiden flight. And that would be the dream of all chicken, to say the least.

A masked rabbit?







Perhaps it's my high productivity, hubby seems to have run out of caption ideas.



A doggie with unsually highly developed hind legs.

A bird, the kind that hums.

This looks familiar, except for the background.

The Animal Kingdom: A Microcosm

Today is the first day of the Spring semester. Since CE has classes from morning to evening, I was alone most of the time during the day. So in between attending to my daily Buddhist lessons such as reciting sutras and chanting mantras, I spent some time delving into the animal kingdom, the way I know best: first observing how it's done and then drawing. Here they are, ensconced in their natural habitats, going about their business.

A lady bug perched squarely on a leaf.

A butterfly hovering gingerly above its favorite haunt.

A dragonfly dancing its way through the fluttering shapely leaves.

A flock of birds frolicking in the cover of the tree branch.

And the adorable panda having a leafy feast brings up the rear.
