I just love NextDoor! I went to pick up an patio umbrella because I wanted the stand. The umbrella it's self was missing the lower half, so I'm guessing that's why everyone else passed on it. While I was there I told the owner I was going to use the umbrella to shade my garden. I go through a lot of umbrellas becasue I never know when the high winds will come ripping down the hill and through my yard. I've had many take flight down the hill and break. She asked if I would like her blueberry plants, since she couldn't take them when she moves. I'm so excited to add something new to my garden!
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
