Corona Borealis ๐
Trying to draw more of my other favorite gods, back to the time of Dionysus and his newly wedded Ariadne, again, setting to flew somewhere where the sun doesnโt set for their early honeymoon vacation; after sweet kisses that tasted of wine, honey and mead, and turning all of their wedding gifts into stars and constellations.
For the closeups shots, Dionysusโs jewelries and necklaces were based on both Mesopotamian, Egyptian and earlier Minoan Greek samples; since there are a few myths that he wandering to all over West Asia and some parts of India to teaching the world about wine making and its fermentation. While most of Ariadneโs clothings were based on murals of Minoan women and jewelries that were found in the ancient cities of Akrotiri and Heraklion in Thera. (Now near modern day Santorini.)

Snow days are fun because frosty conditions make the birds flock to the feeders. It is of course looking especially pretty when the sun is shining too. All the pretty snow has pretty much melted already but here is a little visitor medley from earlier.
