Y is for Yak

Keeping warm in winter is all about the outfit!

X is for X Ray tetra

You really can see through these fish... 

Almost done with this challenge- two more letters!

W is for Walrus

I had a lot more fun painting this one- yesterdays vulture was a the hardest one yet- but a kind reader  pointed out that with out that bird think of all the roadkill we would be stuck with!
Okay- tomorrow is another dreaded day- X

V is for Vulture

I will not lie- I felt yucky painting this one. Theres not much cuteness to this carrion eating creature. But it still is a being!

U is for Unicorn

I believe in Magic!

T is for Turtle

I have a thing for turtles. My Dad and I saw one in the road in Hingham when I was a little girl-  he later gave me a ceramic one that I still have and cherish. Recently on a visit to his home in Hawaii I had an unforgettable experience with turtles one morning- I was taking pictures of rocks in the water and one was right there- I didn't see him until he slowly swam by me. 

They beach themselves during the day and look like they are, well, dead. But they aren't!

S is for Seagull and the finished pole!

Back to the Alphabet!

I finished the pole. It was amazing to be in such a busy public spot and yet I was able to focus. Day one was tough- designing and drawing it- the top of the pole gave me grief because there was no way of making it look domed at the top without it looking very odd from certain vantage points- so I made it grey .. still not totally satisfied but people seem to like it. I received so many kind worlds from people stopped at the light- some simply said "thank you".

I snuck something in at the access panel... of course...

My view from the top of my ladder- imagining Marshfield roads 100 years ago...

Guess who?

I put the dandelion  there for Molly Fitzgerald. I wore my Molly Walk shirt as I was painting and kept thinking of Molly. 

Here's the finished pole! This photo was the best I could do from the car...
