for some reason this lovely wood grain makes me think of labrador retriever..

I am in the mood to hear you running down the freeway
like a panther
not a leaopard
like your spots would have me believe
clacking heels and jingling change purse
thicker skin over your heart won't do much good against modern weaponry
it's nothing like cannon fire coming from the sea
I'd stick to the black it suits your disposition
those spots attract too much attention
and you don't know what you're doing with those horns
give yourself a break
why make it harder to get up into that tree?
the book Birds of North America is one of his life's achievements. And throughout his ornithological career documenting known and unknown species, he aimed to capture them in their natural environments. I love depictions of animals whose purpose is to serve science just as much as they are artistic contributions. What I love about JJ Audubon's is the attitude he injects into the subjects. More like characters personified than wild animals. Also the dreamy water color landscape backdrops.
