I got tired of #sketching people for #GestureDrawing practice & opted for #elephants instead. There's 2 more posted publicly on #Patreon, including a 2nd version of the 3 elephants around a #skull. Take a look - which do you like best?

Shrewsbury and much of Shropshire was once at the mercy of gangs of 'marauding Morris dancers' who caused mayhem wherever they went. The leader of the musical mob was 'The Lord of Misrule'. Often, the funding for their endeavors came from the Shrewsbury corporation.

‘Water is more valuable than oil’: the corporation cashing in on America’s drought
In an unprecedented deal, a private company purchased land in a tiny Arizona town – and sold its water rights to a suburb 200 miles awayMaanvi Singh (The Guardian)
Back in late 1990s, Boone Pickens (oil billionaire) started buying up water rights in the Ogallala Aquifer recognizing water would be the next big commodity. Since he died, I wondered what ever happened with his endeavor and found this article. Looks like he made $103 million off the water rights he bought.

you know... it wasn't until today that it really hit me that pets are family. Canada made legal history with a Golden Retriever at the center of a custody battle.
i think all the time about all the pets i grew up with; especially Tiger, our German Shepherd. he was like our dog brother. we were his herd.
pets are family. we should cherish them as such.
