Critters, real and art

A small green caterpillar searching for food.  Don´t know what species it is. 

The sturdy horse looking powerful!


Kanadagoose taking off for the migration south. They are now gone.

Today I finish off with two art images I normally post on my artblog
I took the photo of the horses in Yellowstone a couple of years ago. I have now manipulated it to fit Rains challenge this week. 

The Hoopoe is a painting I painted with acrylics on A4 watercolor paper.  
(The photo found on the net.)

Sweden have now lifted most of the restrictions. Now I cross my fingers it won´t backfire. 


Linking up with the following memes. My thanks to the hosts:

  2. Great job with the Hoopoe - one of the birds every North American visiting Europe hopes to see.

  3. The caterpillar is cute. Your Hoopoe painting is nice, I was lucky to spot one in my last outing. The horse does look powerful.

  10. Hello,:=) I love your painting of the Hoopoe, I didn't know you were an artist too! I paint portraits. Lovely little caterpillars, and sturdy horse captures. It's sad to see birds migrating.

    The big horse is a powerful one. And I love your painting.

  13. Monica - the bright green of those caterpillars is stunning - almost fluorescent! The series of the Canada Geese leaving is so representative of the season! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
