(My entry for this year's "Cake Portfolio", which will be offered for sale at AC by Frisket17.) For a bit of explaination, I'm a big Spongebob fan, plus a native Texan living in Norway that gets homesick once in awhile...Well, there was an episode of Spongebob in which Sandy the squirrel got homesick for Texas as well, and so they threw her a suprise Texas-themed party, complete with "ten gallon hats" (made from 10 gallon jugs), "BBQ" (made from barbed wire shaped into a "Q") and a "pecan pie" (with a can of peas stuck in the middle) among other things. Thus I couldn't resist including a couple of those silly items in my pic, as well as some TX flora, fauna and folklore.

(I know the image is rather confusing at the moment, but it should look better in color.) :)

Didn't it snow down there?
Mee~ so much beautiful detail. I'd love to try and color it, but i still need to color muh own stuff ._.;
it reminds me of like...those pictures on old timey products like the butter and the tea my mom gets from the store.

Ah, very very pretty Swandog... And I don't mind it's a little confusing... It's fun to look around for details.

ooooh, another Texan. Howdy, ya'll. *winks*
, and a butterfly. The butterfly doesn't look like a monarch, but for a while, they'd stop in our backyard for the night on the migration...looked like our trees were covered in dead leaves till you stood under them and saw literally thousands of monarch butterflies opening and closing their wings.
Let's see...what can I find...a "yellow" rose, an armadillo (a whole passel of these came up and investigated my mom's toes while she was lounging in the backyard one day), a prickly pear cactus (my mom makes jelly from the fruit), a roadrunner (a pair lived in our backyard for two years, then we never saw another copperhead. I love those birds), a bluebonnet, a rattlesnake, a horny toad, a jackalope
The can of sweet peas though...I don't think my mom ever put that in my pecan pie. *winks* (haven't seen that episode of Spongebob).
Thank you oodles for sharing this image...lots and lots of good associations and memories of growing up running through the woods past our backyard. *hugs*
