It’s been a good week for aimless wandering.

I wandered here and there and to and fro.

.

I met a swan

.

.

And a crocodile

.

.

And an iguana

.

.

And a boa constrictor all nicely tucked in.

It may actually be a python..

I was too distracted by his pretty blue marks to ask.

.

.

I also saw a butterfly.

.

.

.

And a burl oak tree (the cemetery is from the mid 1800’s)

.

.

I visited a mill, built in 1850.

.

.

.

And drove under a rock processing plant. The quarry is on the other side of the road and the rock travels in that tunnel over the road. They made the road curvy to boot so tempting as it is to speed under the tonnes of rock going by overhead, it’s not a good idea.  A bunch of sadists made that road.

.

.

.

And I painted this from a reference photo by Pippin on Wetcanvas for a monthly challenge in the Miniature forum.

It’s acrylic, 5×3 inches and painted on my favorite black background.

.

.

.

And now like the elephant, I am ready for a nap.
