The Eight of Shells encapsulates themes of transition, abandonment, and the pursuit of inner fulfillment. It often serves as a visual metaphor for the pivotal decision to leave behind something emotionally unfulfilling or something we have outgrown. This card asks us to welcome change, heed the call of our inner selves, and embark on a quest for deeper personal growth and meaning.

The aquatic whirligig beetles navigate both the water's surface and the depths below, with their unique eyes capable of simultaneously perceiving above and below waterline worlds. Their inherent ability to transition between environments serves as a powerful symbol for embracing diverse experiences and seeking a higher understanding of the environment.

This card tells the story of a willingness to leave behind the familiar, setting sail on a journey in search of something more meaningful. It serves as a reminder that personal growth often necessitates the courage to depart from the safe harbors of what's known and venture into uncharted territories. It underscores that by shedding what no longer serves us, we fling open the doors to new experiences and deeper wisdom.

In essence, the whirligig beetles, with their dynamic existence and adaptability, are living metaphors for the transformative power of embracing change. Their presence in this card speaks to the idea that by recognizing when it's time to cast off the anchors of the past and by courageously facing new challenges, we can find a more meaningful path forward on the journey of life. The Eight of Shells is a potent reminder that our pursuit of inner fulfillment and personal growth often involves abandoning the old and familiar, thus allowing room for new experiences to flourish. It encourages us to be unafraid to navigate the currents of change and welcome the winds of transformation with open arms.

🪲 pond boys 🪲

Need to use water colour on more iridescent bugs, I had so much fun with the beetle and found the line with on my lesser water boatman & common pond skater very frustrating!!

#yes i did insist on doing pond insects for my first water colour attempts #also these are literally just. the quickest little paintings #maybe one day I'll start putting real time into one picture and we'll see whether i like the results of that effort #water beetle #beetle #insect #lesser water boatman #common pond skater #pond insects #uk insects #my art #beginner art #watercolour art #watercolour painting

When I was a kid, I never thought of the toyota logo as a "T" or a cowboy head. I always thought it was a little water beetle.

hum!Welcome Home sketches!!!

For some reason lately I've started thinking about beta!Wally and ordinary Wally.... I make headcannons and think about the difference between these two, even though they have the same appearance 🤨🤨🤨🥄 (my first attempts to draw a beta!Wally. two versions, because I'm undecided)

AND THEN HOWDY, BECAUSE I ADORE HIM..... YEAH (I'm still thinking about what I want him to look like in my artstyle—)

redraw (You are what you eat, they said. But I don't remember eating such a handsome man. Thanks to @//eechytooru for the idea :]]

I dunno how to comment on this, so just keep more sketches ☠️

#I hope you all haven't forgotten me huh #If you're interested I'm doing fine right now :⁰]#I've met a lot of cool artists and now I'm talking to them #I also finally got a huge plush rhinoceros beetle. I've wanted it since August but I haven't had the opportunity to buy this bro—#I hope that you are doing well. Don't forget to drink water and get a good night's sleep :]#welcome home #sketches #wally darling #howdy pillar #art #welcome home wally #beta wally #human wally darling #barnaby b beagle #artists on tumblr #welcome home barnaby

Today Sirena rolled on top of my mom’s TV remote control and turned the TV to a channel showing a bunch of water beetles swimming, which she immediately started watching intently while making this face:

#animals #cats #invisioning a world in my head in which cats go ‘time to watch the news’ and the news is just footage of water beetles

October 2022: Sunday Post

Sunday’s backyard garden harvest :

Seen while walking.

What else can I say but “Even a man who is pure in heart, And says his prayers by night, May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms, And the moon is full and bright.”:

The perfect symbol of what passes for Christianity in the United States... Saint Francis with his giving hand broken off:
