I'm fully In It, learning how to make patterns for wallpapers. This is the spiritual successor to my beetle and cicada that gave me pattern brain fever. Really inspired by artists like Morris, Dearle and Voysey lately. Help me name it please! "Beetle2" doesn't seem very.. poetic.

A pair of recently fledged Red-tailed Hawks. These two were flapping and exploring the branches around the nest. The day after these photos were taken, the nest was empty. Now they are off exploring the woods, still being fed by their parents while they learn to hunt.
