DRAWING CHALLENGE- TAIL


Part of white-tailed deer tail found on a walk in the back woods

The Golden ratio has been quite inspiring lately..... seeing spirals everywhere
I will share some photos now and later some drawings


                                        
                                          Our sweet dog Zoey has a marvelous, spirally TAIL...

I think Descartes, Archimedes, Bernoulli and Fibonacci, et al. would think so too :)
                
most importantly, her boy thinks so



Sweet Zoey

                                                  
                                                     How much is that doggy in the window?
                                                     the one with the spirally tail...  :)
                                      


Please visit Jasmin to see more interpretations of this week's drawing challenge: TAIL
I am off and excited to do the same :)

trees around me




= hungry birds


a walking stick tree (is much prettier in winter)







Wild Turkeys in the Bee Yard and one quiet hive




The turkeys seemed to have scoped out the yard for the detritus because most of the bees that
were fallen and scattered here from the last cleansing flight were gone from the entrances and surrounding areas.  Only hearing the buzzing from one colony.
