By some miracle I finished postcard illustration #

By some miracle I finished postcard illustration #10 this week! New Mexico’s state bird is the greater roadrunner (I LOVE seeing these little dinos when I’m out there), and the flower is the yucca flower. There are many species of yucca, so this illustration is not intended to be a specific type. I’ll be getting this one along with Ohio and California printed as cards soon, available right after the holidays. Then it’s on to the other 40 states!
.
Fun fact: Roadrunners are zygotaclyl (meaning 2 toes face forward, 2 backwards), like many parrots and woodpeckers. There are several different toe arrangements in birds, with most perching birds having the three toes forward, one toe back arrangement.

Finally bought myself a sample of this tote bag and I love it! I have so many light-colored bags with inevitable coffee stains on them…

California! State bird: California quail; State flower: California poppy (very proprietary out there on the West Coast, aren’t they?) I’ve started New Mexico as well, and as soon as it’s done I’ll be getting OH, NM, and CA cards printed, so stay tuned.

New greyhound, who dis? Meet Saffron, our newest family member! Kind of unexpected, but we had been thinking about a new pooch in the new year and this older girl was a stray who found her way to @americangreys and we fell in love.
