Today was an almost obscenely perfect late summer/early fall day. 70 degrees, sky so blue it looks fake, the whole bit. We went to the Wildlife Management Area had had a walk.
Here's a view from the hiking trail looking down towards the lake:
Here is Sophie waiting patiently while I took the picture:
Here is the Waterfowl Observation Area on the lake:
This is in what they call the "propagation area," which is mostly off-limits to visitors, except for the observation area and a little path to get to it. Those yellow signs, as seen in the lower left of the picture, are placed about every 10 feet, and they say "NO DRONES" in big letters, and then in smaller letters that you also aren't allowed to go past the signs or hunt from this area. (There is another section where you can go right up to the lake, but I didn't take any pictures there.)
Here are some birbs:
My phone camera is not very high quality; this is zoomed in as far as it will go.
Over in the other direction were More Birbs, but their picture turned out even worse:
The white blurs are the birds. I think they're probably all the same kind, although I couldn't swear to it. Some kind of egret or heron, I guess.

I’m outside eating a ham baguette and drinking a pineapple seltzer and I have a cookie for dessert and a northern flicker just flew across the yard.

Apparently, my decision to be silly and make fanart of someone's writing (because I genuinely enjoy the story the person is writing and I was struck with inspiration upon reading a particular scene) has benevolent and wildly unforeseen consequences.
I apparently gained a bit of control of the canon because said writer really loved the art and decided what I drew/draw is canon.
2. Writer put said artwork into the document of his story right below the scene, so now it's IN the story where people who read the story will see it (with a link to me)
3. He sent the artwork to all his friends and people he knows because he was so excited
Wholesome interaction and I watched him do all that in real time, good stuff. However...there are two more consequences I was notified of today...nearly a full week after I gave the artwork.
Seeing the artwork caused his friends to become interested in reading and hearing about his story, which means more people are reading what he's writing and giving him critique on the story (which he actively asks for).
Apparently, upon seeing the art, his writer friends got a sudden second wind to pick back up writing they'd abandoned for a few months. Because, I quote, "seeing that someone enjoyed {his} writing enough to take the time to make art of it gave them the motivation that maybe THEY can write something that will inspire someone to also create something." I have accidentally caused a writing frenzy among his writer friends and my silly idea to make art for someone has had a butterfly effect for people who I don't even know.
Uhh...I'm pretty sure there's a moral here but I am tired and have a great deal of emotions about this.
