Like all swans, Astor shows his best side when he tips down to feed on plants at the bottom of the pond. Really, he's not being rude.

As Christmas orders are now closed, I'm going to post some pieces that I have sold in the past. A wee trip down memory lane.
A little koi pond with waterlilies on dark blue paper. This is colour pencil and mixed media.
And this my friends is why our #pandemicpond and #poolpond will never, ever, be connected to the house water system! Directly or with a ‘sensor' system, never. Ever.
If the pond looks a little low... you top it up from a rain barrel, or a tap... or you let it go low and wait for rain.
$6000 water bill is INSANE. Our quarterly bill is usually under $150 in the winter and under $300 in the summer months.
Our walk was a bit longer than expected. Before we got back to our car, the Sun was already gone. Let me tell you... seeing "The Blair Witch Project" a few day prior did NOT seem so good in that moment. 😭🤭
Trees with vibrant fall foliage line a calm lake, creating a beautiful reflection on the water's surface. The scene is enhanced by a colorful, soft sky at dusk.
Vibrant autumn leaves in shades of orange, red, and yellow reflect beautifully on the still surface of the water. A serene walkway runs alongside the water's edge, offering a peaceful path beneath the colorful canopy.
Bow Bridge, shaped like an archer's bow, was built between 1859 and 1862. This graceful bridge arches over a calm river amidst a lush display of autumn foliage. Vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows create a picturesque scene.
The charming and picturesque Gapstow Bridge in Central Park, NYC, arches over a calm body of water surrounded by vibrant autumn foliage. Rich reds, oranges, and greens reflect in the serene pond, enhancing the peaceful atmosphere.
A vibrant garden scene featuring pink decorative flowers on tall stems near a small pond. The pond is surrounded by rocks and plants, with a house visible in the background under a clear blue sky.
Este año voy a volver a utilizar este mes para cometer crímenes con el arte.
Lo que empezó hace unos años con el Inkt0ber, ya no lo sigo haciendo con sus sugerencias por sus «temas» particulares (Que yo sepa, plagio y denuncias a artistas. Lo de las acusaciones sobre IAG, no lo sé seguro).
Como otros años, para molestar lo menos posible pondré mis crímenes en un sólo hilo para no incordiar mucho y que sea fácil silenciarme si incordio o molesto mucho.
Este año voy a hacer una lista propia, gracias a un generador aleatorio que hay en Code Pen con los hastagas #tintubre y #tintubre2025.
Texto blanco sobre un fondo negro en el que se puede leer lo siguiente: TinTubre 2025. Unofficial prompt list. 1. SAD, 2. RICH, 3. PIRATE, 4. NEST, 5. COAT, 6. HAT, 7. SHED, 8. PRICKLY, 9. BARK, 10. STOCKY, 11. WHIMSICAL, 12. CHOP, 13. FIERCE, 14. RAT, 15. SHIELD, 16. THUNDER, 17. CLOCK, 18. NINJA, 19. FILTHY, 20. SCAR, 21. NIGHT, 22. POND, 23. SOUP, 24. UNDERWATER, 25. FIRE, 26. CAPE, 27. TART, 28. ROCKET, 29. SLIMY, 30. GAUNTLET, 31. RAKE. #tintubre #tintubre2025
Por más que busqué no conseguí encontrar nada que fuera capaz de hacer con la palabra de hoy, así que tuve que recurrir al Comandante Ponds, de la serie Clone Wars (Star Wars), pero me ha quedado una pose demasiado estática.

Depuis quelques années, un couple de pygargues s'est installé en Sologne, dans la région où je fais pas mal d'observations nature.
Même s'il est difficile de savoir où se trouvera ce rapace (le plus rare de France métropolitaine), c'est plutôt simple de se rendre compte de sa présence : quand il arrive au dessus d'un étang, il fait fuir pratiquement tous les oiseaux ! Un grand bruissement d'ailes accueille celui qui est très silencieux.
(Pygargue à queue blanche, Loir-et-cher, Fr, 10/25)
Un pygargue à queue blanche (grand aigle marron avec un bec crochu jaune et imposant et un arrière train tout blanc) en vol. Des tas de canards et de bécassines volent devant lui.
