Halfway through this sketch I had to scramble down the rockweed-covered rocks to refill the tank on my watercolor brush-pen.

That's my sister, Alice, looking toward Peak's Island on a late afternoon last week.

Coreids are also called leaf-footed bugs (note the flared/flattened hind legs, which are supposed to look like leaves).
