I've been playing catch up all week. Thought I would post of photo from my recent mushroom hunt. Lother on the left and Tina on the right (her husband Thomas was taking the photo) were our fungus guides. They are also our bee mentors, who helped us when we first started out keeping bees. It was wet and cold so we all have about four layers under our coats. Yes we look tired because when this photo was taken, we had been hiking for 3 hours up and down the muddy Santa Cruz Mountians.
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
