Posted by sterlingphoenix at 21:08:01 on October 13th, 2016 | Category: Photos, Rambling | Tags: pottery I’m required to take several art credits for school, and since I’ve always wanted to try pottery, I decided to take a pottery class.

The sad thing is it’s also the first monarch caterpillar I’ve seen this year, at all! Here is a picture […]
