"Hey June, remember me?" a large grasshopper seemed to call for my attention. When I wanted to take a picture of it before, my camera had run out of battery. I snapped plenty of photos this time, and made a drawing of my six-footed friend at the very front.
The background? Last year, I'd felt drawn to do a quick sketch of the entrance of one of the neighborhood homes, with a bicycle parked in front of the door, steps, and postbox--I could use that. And to add interest to the picture, I'd add two of my black feathered guardians, the crows.
