Karen Guise writes about saving wildlife, especially birds and bugs. Her art is unique. I’ve posted three, screen captures from a shop on CafePress.

I remember seeing these years ago.… Read the rest

Before I read the post I thought it was going to be about trying different fonts for ASCII art. I still like my version.

Unfortunately, I can not find the original source I read for this idea and my image showing how I did get it to work is also lost due to moving my site around and losing post content. So, this post is a bit of a bust now. It should work but somehow I’m not getting it to load with the ASCII art in the alt description.… Read the rest
