300

post #300. just over 2 years... and some of you are still around. thought i would try to get one in prior to midnight... we'll see

no title...

i always enjoy walking through the woods in the evening. one of my neighbors told me they were charged by a big bull moose last week. i'll keep an eye out for him on my next walk.

inside cover

saw a lot of weird stuff working the night shift last night, may take my camera tonight. sleep sucked today, it is way too hot! later

boat...

an old broken boat. its floatin' days are over, now it just collects leaves and other discarded items from man and nature.

i'm working night shifts for the next couple days. explains the rush on this one. with any luck i'll be able to draw tomorrow in the am...

smokes...

pick-up yer butts... i've never smoked, and i've never liked picking up other people's butts. it's amazing that so many people flick their butts out of the car window without any concern at all. thanks sally, for the idea!

fire...

in the theme of abandoned, don't leave your campfire unattended. the fire season is upon us. another hot day in the northwest...

Illustration Friday: idle

Taking a break from the trash theme. Opened another sketchbook to draw other "stuff". The theme this week for IF is "idle", figured I'd draw something in my "idle" time that i like to do when i need a break... others may see wondering about the woods as an "idle" pastime, for me it is a time to reflect and enjoy the beauty around us...

roadside chow...

don't you love it when folks chuck their healthy feed bags along the road, or better yet when they leave it scatter about the park when there is a trash can twenty feet away... guess that's why it's convenience food.

more trash...

yes, more trash... there are plenty of shopping carts strewn along the river, as well as a river of trash. i may take a small break from trash and start the close-up face japanese album moleskine. tomorrow will advise me on what to draw...

a different trailer

i see abandoned semi-trailers here and there in fields and in the woods. one on the trail about a mile from my house has been vandalized and some kids smoke their "funny cigarettes" inside.
