H, I, J, K is for...Internet?



So before I start. The past few days I have been fighting with my internet/provider to try and get service back. It has not been fun. This has caused me to miss a few days of A-Z and not get around to see all of you. Instead of just losing those days I am going to at least post the pictures I drew.


H is for Hummingbird


I is for Ibis




J is for Jellyfish



K is for Kingfisher






Fun Fact: While some Kingfishers use tree hollows, others actually nest in tunnels they dig in the ground. Their tunnels can be as long as 26 feet with their nest at the end. Both male and female birds incubate their eggs which can hatch in 3 to 4 weeks.






See you guys Monday for our regularly scheduled program.

  1. Sorry about your Internet. No worries - you're caught up now.
    The last one is really well done.
    But the jellyfish one made me chuckle!

  2. How frustrating with the internet thing! But glad you got it worked out. It would have been sad to miss those pictures - especially the jelly fish one. Cute :)

  3. I'm glad you let us see the pictures we missed. I'm with the other guys: I love the jellyfish one. I love the facial expressions! You're so talented, Brandon.

    See you Monday!

  5. Aw man! I hate it when that happens. At least you weren't idle and got a lot of work done. The Kingfisher is awesome, I love the colors on that bird.

  6. Welcome back...not much one can do when the ole provider decides not to provide. Fun stuff for I thru J, and I agree with others....the Jellyfish drawing is extra fun and a great rendition of most everyone's reaction to a flotsam of those beautiful but dangerous creatures. Congrats for catching up and making it through Week #2. Thanks for your visits and comments on my AtoZ 'fiction from forgotten fotos'.

  8. Although I can't get the Hummingbird picture, and the Kingfisher is really nice, I love Jellyfish the most!

    Glad your issues cleared up.

  11. Sorry about your internet. Love the sketches, especially the Ibis with a dragon riding on his back. :)

  12. Ugghh. The internet.

    All of the drawings are great, but the kingfisher is OUTSTANDING. I particularly like the bold colors. Really, really nice.

    I didn't know that they tunneled into the ground to make their nest. I am learning all sorts of interesting stuff here.

  17. Sorry to hear about your internet--I've come across more people having issues. Maybe the A-to-Z is making ISPs all over the world collapse? ;) Glad you're back online, though! And that kingfisher pic is fantastic!

  18. Ugh...what a time to lose internet service! I hear you there, my connection has been a lot slower and less reliable lately and has gone out for days at a time in the past. Glad you're back online and all caught up.

  19. I know a guy in Jersey that could have a "talk" with your internet provider, should the need arise:) I love these whimsical drawings, especially the hummingbird *who knew they were so fierce*
