Meeting An Emperor

Happy Feet is one of my favorite movies of all times, in both live and animated categories. I even have the theme song downloaded into my computer and played it a hundred times, literally! It just makes me happy listening to “Boogie Wonderland.” On the other hand, who can resist penguins?! They are one of the cutest animals in the universe and they also love to play; some of their favorite pastimes are:

Tobogganing: Penguins lie on their belly and toboggan through the ice and snow. This helps them move quickly.

Diving: Penguins dive off cliffs and ice flows into the water, hop back up onto the land and dive down again. Line-ups for good diving spots can get very long.

Surfing: Penguins are often seen surfing through the waves onto land.

A Visit To A Meadow

One of my favorite things to do when visiting a botanical garden is explore the meadow. I love seeing wild animals in their natural habitat. There’s nothing more magical than being surrounded by butterflies, wildflowers, and wildlife. I would love to create one someday, which means not mowing the lawn forever! Now, that I can do...

Did you know?
Some weeds in your lawn such as: plantain, fennel, dock, sorrel, wild radish, clovers, cudweeds, and even thistles are excellent host and nectar plants for the butterflies.

Above is my interpretation of a meadow, using watercolor and pen. I hope you enjoy it.
