Wave: #doodlewashJuly2022 prompt Day 24
Did you know that originally ‘America, the Beautiful”, with its ‘Amber waves of grain’, was a poem that people sung to whatever tune they liked – “Auld Lang Syne” being the most popular? Today the song is sung o Samuel A. Ward’s “Materna”.
Another quick, quick sketch!

Pride: #doodlewashJuly2022 prompt Day 23
Did you know that a group of lions is called a pride because they have always been associated (incorrectly) with stately nobility? They actually prefer to steal kills from other predators than to hunt themselves.

Confident: #doodlewashJuly2022 prompt Day 21
Did you know the saying, ‘A Cat May Look At A King’ was first printed in 1562, and was probably a common proverb long before that? The meaning is that even the most lowly born have certain rights — though I’m confident that no cat ever believed itself lowly born!

Crowd: #doodlewashJuly2022 prompt Day 19
Did you know the the Lupine flower name came from the Latin ‘Lupus’, meaning wolf? Why that name? Lupines are poisonous, and thus considered a killer of livestock like the wolf.
