I really thought it would be way more than a year.
Last year, at the park, I saw a baby lizard come out of a bush; find himself face to face with a large dragonfly. I wondered what the two would do. They just looked at each other as if paralyzed--or sizing each other up, perhaps. After a long moment, the dragonfly flew off and the lizard disappeared back down into the bush as if nothing had happened.
That moment...I remember wishing then I had the ability to capture it on paper. I knew I couldn't then, and I stared hard at that place on top of the bush and burned the image in my mind so I would remember it when the time came I could draw it. In ten years' time? twenty? I didn't know.
I know I still have a long, long ways to go--my little lizard looks like a green mole!--but I thought it would be better to get it drawn poorly than to forget it completely, so...here 'tis.
