"Animal Kingdom" – Postcard

This week’s Sunday Postcard Art challenge was "Animals."

This is 1 of 2 rhinoceros themed postcards I created for it.

For months now, I have struggled to produce anything creative. Recently I haven't had much spare time, either. I'm not complaining. My life is what it is. In 100 years, it won't matter.

I created this using GIMP 2.8.10.

The vintage images are from Johnson's Household Book of Nature which I found on the Biodiversity Heritage Library, which is another site that I've added to my Digital Libraries Resources links section.

This is 1 of 3 posts of photographs I took recently at the reservoir in Easton, CT.

I never realized how many different types of Dragonflies there are, nor how beautiful they are, until I started my photography hobby. I'm also amazed that despite having partially damaged wings, they still fly around with no noticeable problems.

There were three Double-crested Cormorants there that day. One was next to a turtle, and the other two were standing closer to the shoreline.
