Henk is getting sleep trained = having a set schedule when to nap each day. So part of that is going for a long walk during the day after the first nap since it helps him sleep at night. Our normal route is walking down to the small grocery store to check out what's new and for me to get a drink. I have it dialed in now to carry $1.05 in change for my ice tea. Then we walk around the neighborhood for an hour, stopping to check out the flowers or anything interesting. Today we got lucky and saw a monarch butterfly. I haven't seen one in a long long time.
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
