Huge Basil! [Daily Photo #169]

An embarrassingly long time ago I asked folks for Babylon 5 characters fanart requests. And because it took me forever to draw them, I decided to add two bonus arts as compensation. :-) I apologise for the delay! If you haven't watched Babylon 5, there will be a spoiler about one of the characters below.

Here they are!

Shadow Surgeon

for Henri

Usually very ominous. So I decided to draw a Surgeon doing something mundane and not threatening. Not at all.

Yesterday I showed you our outdoor garden, and today it's time for the indoor (mini) garden! We've got here chives, rucola and lettuce.

September Flowers! [Daily Photo #167]

Today I went to look at all our green friends and they got really talkative!

“Katya has been ecstatic I grew so tall and started blooming.
That's understandable. I *am* gorgeous!”

Are you tired of flower photos yet? ;p If so, I have some edited images to freshen things up! But, in case you prefer unedited photos, I'll add them too. I had a lot of fun with these! ^u^
