I walk A LOT at home and for work. When I run Annie, I don't have her bring the tennis balls back to me that I throw. Early on I realized that if I did that, I would be standing in the same spot for an hour and not get any exercise. So I throw the ball and Annie chases it,picks it up and then lays down and waits for me to throw the second ball. When the grass at the park is tall I can't always see where the balls land. I have to give Annie the command to "find the other ball". This morning I must have had that lost ball look on my face because Annie started the search without being given the command. When she tracks down the ball she will put it next to the other one. Such a smart little puppy. :)
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
