On a lovely June afternoon earlier this week Lancelot and I escaped from the studio to go birdwatching.
Founder's Day Parade
Founder's Day Parade - in spite of everything, the annual parade still takes place. Admittedly, there are fewer spectators this year.
Lancelot to the rescue again
That annoying little chap Cupid always left things to the very last moment. Lancelot and co help out with some last minute dedications....Here Lancelot is using a practice calligraphy sheet from Maybelle Imasa to help Cupid.(He has been taking her online classes.)
Madame Prickleoffski
In his younger days Lancelot would sometimes disguise himself as Madame Prickeoffski, the famous Eastern medium, gaze into his crystal ball and tell fortunes. (It was a way to finance his studies.) Now anxious to raise capital for a promising new venture, Lancelot, as Madame Prickeoffski, is hired by the Meteorological Service, to help improve the accuracy of their predictions.
Bastille Day Celebrations
At the recent Bastille Day Celebrations Lancelot was delighted to win third place in the French Bread category, Junior/Under 12" division of the local fencing club. Lancelot's chosen weapon is the batard. He finds the loaf more suitable to his weight/muscle distribution than the standard ficelle.
Happy 4th!
Lancelot and Agile would like to wish their friends a very happy July 4th. Double click on flag to enlarge
Lancelot welcomes the first hummingbird of the season.
June 15th. Lancelot was delighted to greet the first hummingbird of the Summer. Here they share a celebrity nectar cocktail to welcome in the Summer Season.
After The Show
Now that my show has officially opened, Lancelot is finally
able to begin to devote himself to some of his long neglected projects.
Off to Santa Fe
The Three friends head off to Santa Fe for their annual R and R respite. I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of them at the airport yesterday. Lancelot and co like to travel as inconspicuously as possible.
Finishing up.
Knowing that I am very busy at the moment preparing for my One person show, Lancelot and Agile kindly offered to help me work on my paper mache owl. Here you see the owl in a late development stage, receiving a final coat of the Financial Times. With luck the owl will be dry and ready to be decorated just in time for the opening of my show on May 6th. I am so grateful to Lancelot and Agile for their help.
Spring is here.
I was working in the studio when I saw a sudden burst of color. As I turned my head I noticed Lancelot scurrying by with an enormous bunch of flowers.... Before I could catch him, to ask where he was headed, Lancelot had disappeared around the corner.
Creative Block
Time for a Spring Vacation. Lancelot was suffering from Creative Block...
Half Way There, Lancelot realized it was Further than he thought.
Half way there and with night coming on fast, Lancelot accepts a ride from some friendly Map birds.
Birthday Celebrations
In honor of Founder's Day Birthday Celebrations, Lancelot decides to personally deliver the balloons. I was a little dubious about this, knowing that Lancelot had dozed through most of High School geography but Lancelot insisted that he knew where California was.
