A Couple of Comments

Gillian, of The Fading Rose suggested I resurrect my old Prismacolor ATC BLOG and continue with my ATC's. So I thought I'd give it a try. I have now posted all my ATC's that I have posted only on this blog over the last few months and added them to my Prisma Color one, so that all my ATC's are now in one place. I will continue to post them individually as I finish them on this blog but then they will be added to my Prisma Color blog. Does that make sense? Maybe this will give me the incentive to do more ATC's. It was a lot of work trying to keep this blog going and my Prisma Color one ... and I still post weekly flamboroughtoday.co.uk(Once at the Flamborough Today page click on Blogspot in the column on the left hand side of the page).

Now for those of you who were concerned about the appearance of a rat in my back yard, eating the bird seed, I have done a little research and this is what I have found out. I think the rat we saw, (MOTH saw it too the next day), was probably a Stephen's Kangaroo Rat. The color, ears, size and tail match -- and the fact that he was sitting up on his haunches to eat the seeds. (He is a grainivore). This rat is not a bit like what I call sewer rats. It is more like a gerbil with a very long tail. He is apparently endangered but can be found quite easily in our area, particularly on Camp Pendleton which is only a couple of miles away from us. Anyway I will be keeping a watch out for this little gentleman to try to get a better identification.

Another post coming soon.
