The Questions Asked of Me:

1. Who is your favorite visual artist? I don’t follow the art world but I do enjoy Brandon Boyd’s drawings and paintings. I have three of his books of drawings and writings. I would love to someday purchase some of his paintings. Brandon is a singer-songwriter/artist from the band Incubus, one of my favorites.

2. Which is your favorite bird species? I love birds of prey. I live in SW MO where they are very prominent, and I’m always on the look-out for hawks and eagles. Last Spring there was a nest of hawks in the forest behind our house. It was awesome seeing/hearing them, and just as awesome when it was time for the babies to leave the nest! We see many American Bald Eagles here, as well. They are the most majestic creatures.

3. Which is your favorite mammal species? Cats. Big cats, little cats. A cat is a cat. They are magnificent creatures, my spirit animal.

4. What is your favorite insect? I would have to say the butterfly. The transformation into such a beautiful and delicate creature is amazing!

5. What is your favorite plant? Tubers and evergreens.

6. Where do most visits to your blog come from? Coming in at first place, The Netherlands, and second place The United States.
