My front yard is always changes with the season. Instead of a lawn we planted a variety of bulb flowers. The first to show up are the daffodil. Soon to be followed by irises. We had some heavy frost so most of my hedge plants have been trimmed back and look like little brown sticks. When I moved my hubby's office to the back bedroom, he now has a nice view of the daffodils blooming in our vegetable garden. I'm always reminded of the time my daughter decided to play flower girl and went out and cut all the flowers she could find to make one huge bouquet. Now all we have to worry about is the snails.
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
