I am a scientist by trade and artist by soul. My creative outlet used to be dancing but due to injuries and age, I must now find another path. I am hoping my writing, poetry and photography can be this new path.
Awards: While I am grateful and honored for the numerous nominations, I don’t have time to respond to them with the attention they deserve, so for the most part, I am an award free blog.

Nice title-picture combo as a very creative challenge response. Good use of “materials-at-hand”. The poem explains the redness seen in the picture. Touching poem as sometimes we mistakenly assume the tough exterior is also what is on the inside.

Thank you! I thought the broccoli steamer might be a bit out there but I was desperate. I live in the land of the armadillo yet I haven’t seen one dead or alive since Jennifer started the new challenge series.

I’ve only seen one… perhaps two, in my life. It was thrilling both times…maybe. The second time was a few blocks from my home in Mexico and both I and my passenger thought we saw one cross the road but neither of us could believe it so convinced ourselves we might not have!

Thank you Melinda! I thought I might have been stretching it a bit too far so I’m glad you see and like what I was trying to portray.

I think it’s perfect. The challenge is more fun when we have to stretch and mine was stretching it too

The use of the steamer is a great response to the challenge of armadillo deprivation.
