Can I Have What He’s Had?

The Common Raven is an acrobatic flier, often doing rolls and somersaults in the air. One bird was seen flying upside down for more than a half-mile. Young birds are fond of playing games with sticks, repeatedly dropping them, then diving to catch them in midair.

Tree and I were not sure what had made this Raven happy enough to be jigging about, but we were only just saying that we thought we would like some of what he has had.

Then we heard what sounded like a jet arriving and  we realized that Baba had returned to Lemuria in her mortar. No wonder Raven is dancing a jig.

When Baba makes a come back everyone has a reaction.

Meanwhle, this aged Raven who has clearly seen it all before, is far from impressed.

    Heather love, you have quite a flair for believeable anthyropomorphism! And Baba’s pestle, it looks so much like my own mortar and pestle!! Well done, love!

      Thanks Gwen. It has taken me till this series to realize that I do love anthropomorphic illustrations. Doing these ravens has been a lot of fun and I did enjoy putting Baba in her mortar.

    These images are all incredible, Heather. I love them!!!!!!!!!!! If they would ever love to visit the Murmuring Woods and make a story adventure there it would be a treasure. Utterly delightful.
