Sifting through my archive for my next book and found a photo of this small cloud taken from a Greyhound bus in 2006 somewhere near Tucumcari, between Amarillo and Albuquerque. It looks so sure of itself and so perfect. #desert #tucumcari #cloud #greyhound

@TheEsteemedFox @jdculina Nothing like the smell of neonicotinoids in the morning to get those suburban juices flowing!

@columbokiller @liznangel3 Exactly this! They do it in shallow water as well to bring up any insects or small fish. It’s their supper dance.

@TaraAnnThieke @cwjones89 It comes down to money. (I worked in children’s publishing for many years). Your thread is brilliant! Sadly, illustrations made by thoughtful, talented humans are seen as ‘too expensive’. It’s a huge loss for all the reasons you outline,

@BoMandeville @bach_peter Thank you, Bo. As you know, I have loved your Horizons since first coming across them. They have helped me think about horizons as places and metaphors for so much.

@thegentleauthor @HistoricEngland This makes me so sad. The disregard for beauty, history, community is egregious.
