Mees really likes looking out the front window at all the passing cars and people. Of course when he's checking everything out, I have to keep a tight grip on his shirt! His blinky has gone over a couple times already! He loves the action but I'm not a fan of the noise. Having the fire station just down the street, the trucks goes down my street at least a dozen times each day. It's faster for them than going down the Main Street since there's less traffic. It's a good thing I don't have to sleep during the day!
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
