#doodlewashMay2022: Tie & Ham. ‘Cause a female bear is called a sow, and bears like to ham it up! I\'m jumping ahead a bit because I\'ll be mostly offline this weekend, and I had something I could - kind of - tie it to the prompt. See what I did there? Did you know the Malaysian Sun Bear is the smallest of the bear species? But they make up for it with tongues that are 8-10 inches long! This has kind of a Pooh feeling to me. Does it have a Pooh feeling to you?

Happy Mother\'s Day! We had an unusual late April snowstorm this year in Oregon. One of my friends had been watching a hummingbird\'s nest in her yard with two babies. Snow covered the area, and tree limbs were crashing around. Judy\'s husband put up some foam board to help protect the babies, but of coursel, it was their Momma that these babies depended on. They survived and are now flying about the garden. My own Mom passed away almost three years ago, but well I remember all the times she came to my rescue, and kept me warm and healthy when the world seemed stormy. Did you know that female hummingbirds spend about a week building their nests, using a spider web base to attach it to a branch, insulating it with soft plants, and camouflaging it with lichens? * Hahnemühle Cold Press The Collection Watercolor Paper * Turner Gouache * Reference photo courtesy of Judith Bevilacqua.
