Rain or shine Annie and I hit the trail at 6:00 AM. Not my favorite time to get up but I have to walk her a good hour before breakfast. Mr Purrcy (the cat) wakes me up at the crack of dawn, (he's better than an alarm clock) so I can't over sleep. This morning it was a very light misty rain. It made all the roses (which are in full bloom now) just sparkle. I decided after our walk to go back out with my camera and take a few photo before the sun made everything too bright. Annie is ready now to go hiking with me so I'm going to start wearing my backpack and using my walking sticks on our daily walks. I have to get her use to walking on her leash while I have all my gear on. Should be interesting the first couple of times out the door.
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
