Corn chips
As promised...here's a couple Spring pictures to warm your heart. If you guessed a chipmunk, you were right. But I happened to have a cute baby bunny shot so I threw that one in as well. These were both taken in our backyard.
Since Squirrels are so plentiful back there I could have posted all three. Maybe next time.

Sidney the Unstoppable Squirrel
This is my favorite illustration from my story, Sidney the Unstoppable Squirrel. In this image Sidney is shocked to discover that the gray rabbit has eaten the secret map. So without the map will Sidney and Carmen the chipmunk ever find the magic corn seeds? You'll never know because it's not a published story! Hint...it has a happy ending. I'm posting this image today because I have a really cute photo to go along with this story on Thursday. Can you guess if my photo is of a Red Squirrel, Chipmunk,
Rabbit or maybe even a Red fox? You'll have to wait and see. I bet you're all on pins and needles right?

Cows in Costa Rica
I feel like today's post might not be of alot of interest to whom ever might be reading this. But I'm determined to keep going with my themes as much as possible. And an Orange Cow is a difficult subject!
Although if I was posting another illustration I do have a Purple Cow one. So in order to add some interest to the photos I'll tell you a little bit about them. I happen to love the photo of the Cows and the billboard. I have no idea why really. I took it on our drive between the Orosi Valley and Puerto Veijo de Sarapiqui. But the other photo has a little more of an interesting story. This year we just about had the drivers side mirror taken off by one of these herding trains. We were driving to hike at Cabo Blanco Nature preserve and a whole herd came barrelling towards us on the road. Just a typical days drive in Costa Rica! But this particular photo was taken on a drive from the Rincon Volcano last year. We endured one of the most horrible roads, only to discover that the National park was closed on Mondays! So we never did see the volcano, but we did get caught behind one of these Cowboy herding drives. And I do like my Cows. (or bulls I suppose)

Blue Passageway
This is another painting from my Cow skull series. Another unsold but great edition to the basement series. The little white orbs are not ghosts or little UFO's. (or rabbit poo) That's kind of an inside joke that some of my blog lookers will understand! It's just lights and the flash. I guess I don't have to worry about illegal downloading, right? But all jokes aside, this is one of my favorite paintings. Now that I'm posting and talking about these pieces it makes me want to paint some more. I might have to do something about that.

Without a Barn Cat

This is a farm cat or a without a barn cat. Why? Because there is no barn on this particular farm. I took several pictures of this cat and he never changed his rather annoyed expression. I guess life for an outdoor cat isn't all squeak mice and fancy feast. And having your alone time ruined by picture takers, well thank goodness that doesn't happen every day.
