Huh. Made this for an earlier event, seems relevant again, somehow.
Bingo!
(I had to double-check, but there's a cassette player in Charlie's room)

I no longer have a gardener, so I let my backyard go this winter. Clover sprung up (piles and piles of clover!) through the grass, and a (different) bee was flitting from flower to flower. Took a while to catch a decent pic, and this was the only one where the bee was in flight.
It's nice to have backyard visitors! And I have many more flowers for them to visit than I used to!
I didn't catch any bees poking around my lemon tree for the first few days after the flowers opened, but there have been a couple every day since. I still worry, but at least they're out and about.
(Sorry for the crummy old iPhone pic, but I'm not a photographer, either.)
Still not an artist, and I wasn't planning on doing a second one, but apparently (one of) today's #SwordTember2023 prompt(s) was "Excalibur".
I loved the 1981 movie, and I had a procedural texture for the knurled bit on the pommel handy. A little modeling and some texturing later, a generated rock, an HDRI, and a little compositing (yay, glare!), and it feels pretty close to right. (Blender 3D)
Not an artist, but seeing the "Day 1 - Cosmic" prompted swords set me to wanting to play with a stars and galaxy shader. (Done in Blender 3D)
