1. Enslaved ants and cuckoo bees

Many of us know that some birds trick other host parents from a different species into rearing their young. Best known is the common cuckoo in the UK and much of mainland Europe, However, this type of deception is not only the forte of birds – many insects ‘brood parasites’ too, especially ants, wasps, and bees.

2. This Week’s Fairy Card

N is for Nest in High Places.

If you are pulled to this drawing, you are being asked to look at:  This card is the Graduation card. Congratulations! You have burst through old beliefs and limitations recently. It’s a new way of being. You can now fly to exotic places where you can dance with snakes!

REVERSE: You might be looking at your limitations this week and areas where you are using “in the box” vs. “out of the box” thinking.

Healing Fairy Alphabet deck available for pre-order here

4. Love Nesting


I got myself into a bit of a commercial mode this afternoon by taking off on a thought I had a couple of weeks ago. Somehow that thought went right out of my head until I recaptured it today. I thought I'd better sieze the moment!


I call these little paintings "love nests" because the 2 eggs look like a heart. No really, they do. Don't you see it?


It's like making images out of clouds. Well, sort of.


Or that magical moment when you're in the middle of nature and you spot a heart in a tree or a rock! Too bad no one is there to witness it. But that's when you take a picture of it and bring it home, perhaps post it on your blog ;)


Anyway, I've been a bit absent. A bit spotty. A tad preoccupied.
I think I needed these little love nests today.

5. Gone so long....


Wow..It's been a long time since I've posted. It's been an especially busy season lately with various family and personal activities at home and around....school fun fairs, prep for Easter, church activities, and lots of art to do. I'll post some fun links I've found lately asap.

In the meantime...Spring is nearly here and feels like it's here in VA.
We've got a pair of birds building a nest in a birdhouse near our kitchen window, buds are sprouting, iris greenery is sprouting from the ground..the forsythia is starting to bloom and the weather has been beautiful lately...and Easter is nearly here already!

6. PowerPoint for Martians?

9780195320695.jpgMany people, myself included, have used PowerPoint to make important presentations. Did you just throw boxes on the screen or did you think about your audience and your message? I know that I am usually too overwhelmed by color and animation choices to put much thought into how each page should be designed. Stephen M. Kosslyn, chair of the Department of Psychology and John Lindsley Professor at Harvard University, has written a book to elucidate the process. In Clear and to the Point: 8 Psychological Principles for Creating Compelling PowerPoint Presentations, Kosslyn presents eight simple principles, based on modern science about perception, memory, and cognition, that will make any presentation work. In the original article below Kosslyn provides some tips to get you started. (more…)
