Illustration Friday - Ferocious

"It is not part of a true culture to tame tigers, any more than it is to make sheep ferocious." - Henry David Thoreau

I couldn't think of anything for this week's topic so I went into the woods, well the backyard, to channel my inner Thoreau and discovered my flower bed overgrown with carolina horsenettle a form of nightshade. It's particularly "ferocious" since it's not only poisonous but covered with thorns so very difficult to weed.

Re-posting an oldie in hopes of getting back into the swing of things. The creative spark is always mysterious.

Summer's over

What a crazy year so far... my blogging has been spotty at best, life just keeps getting in the way. Since our move to a culturally void part of the country and the loss of my muse, kitty, I haven't been feeling very creative as of late. We were able to get away to the mountains and recharge a bit. 

A thunderstorm is rolling through and both dogs are hiding under my desk warming my toes.
