Presidential Polar Bear Post Card Project No. 173 - 6.17.16

Spending a few days in Seattle after my last school visits of the year. Making cards on the road is always a bit of a challenge, but here is one from after yesterday's cruise around the emerald city!

Thank You Penny Creek!

I wrapped up my last school visit of the current school year with a great couple of days at Penny Creek Elementary in Everett, WA! 710 kids in two assemblies and eleven drawing workshops over two days. Phew! Good stuff all around and LOTS of enthusiastic writers and artists with awesome drawings to share :)



The west-bound trips through the North Cascades National Park are always sweet...And just a few more shots of a drawing workshop underway - where my facial expressions can sometimes get a little animated :)

Things are a little easier in the summer... but is that always better?

172 post cards. 35 weeks. SO many things... Still lots of good. Back to work!

The world is at times a puzzling place... But it is also good, and real, and colorful, and varied. Many pieces together. Interlocking. Patterned. Reliant on the whole for strength and unity.

Presidential Polar Bear Post Card Project No. 168 - 6.9.16

Congratulations to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the glass ceilings shattered this past week in her becoming the now presumptive Democratic nominee for President. That is, regardless of your political leanings or misgivings, an amazing and profound accomplishment that we should celebrate and embrace. 
Ceilings aside, we are still on thin ice and quite literally a shaky foundation for our Arctic's future due to climate change and global warming. I'm with Hillary, but I also hope that our current President will continue with as many actions as possible to protect the Arctic and reign in our carbon emissions for a cleaner future.

A quick polar bear post card nod to yesterday's World Oceans Day. Live aloha, hang ten, and cut back on those carbon emissions!

Phew. On a hot June day... I am ALREADY looking forward to winter!
