Hidden Picture – Hiking Trail

I recently completed a project for Utah-based Fish for Garbage, a nonprofit organization that mobilizes communities through waterway cleanups and watershed education. They commissioned me to create a series of illustrations for a children’s activity book.

This image is the first of two a hidden picture puzzles. Can you find all 8 items? There’s a soda bottle, a drink cup, a flip-flop sandal, a chip bag, a soda can, a plastic fork, a deflated balloon, and a set of 6-pack rings. The hidden items were chosen because they’re items often found during the organization’s cleanup events.

This image is a version of the illustration that was used as the cover image. The cover image was in color and without the hidden items. But it still has the same expansive view and variety of wild animals.

This image, the only full-color illustration, was for the cover.

Leveret

Here’s leveret photos I took the weekend before last.

This little guy (and two others) were hiding under a plume of ornamental grass in my backyard.  Hubby found them when he went to trim it.  So, I laid in the grass for awhile taking pictures.  They were too little to know what to think of me and didn’t run off like they should have.  They were actually pretty good models and even let me move grass and leaves off of them to get a better shot.  Even when they did eventually get fed up with me and ran, I just picked them up and put them back and took more pictures.

They were actually more patient than my own kids.

Eventually I let them go with (probably) a rather confused idea of what humans want from hares.
