#skata

I met this adorable young Eurasian magpie/skata when I came home from work. Värmland, Sweden (July 8, 2024).

The beauty of the familiar, watercolour, 17x12 cm Although I'm thrilled when I see species that aren't very common, I also find great beauty in what I see every day. I don't think that I've ever seen a magpie I haven't admired. ... Skönheten i det välbekanta, akvarell, 17x12 cm Även om jag blir överlycklig när jag ser arter som inte är särskilt vanliga, så finner jag också stor skönhet i det jag ser varje dag. Jag tror inte att jag någonsin har sett en skata som jag inte har beundrat.

I did a short literary equine series a while ago, but I don’t think I ever posted this little lady. This is Skata from The Scorpio Races. She likes to drag people to their watery doom when they try and tame her, and you know what? Same.

i was gonna paint this, but then i remembered that i have no patience for painting whatsoever :(

Giant ball of uncontrollable rage recognises tiny ball of uncontrollable rage. Every yard I’ve ever worked on there’s that one horse who wants to destroy the world and everyone in it and then randomly picks one person and goes “yes, this is my human” and that needs to be Skata and Puck bc Skata being slang for a difficult woman and Puck working with the horse everyone else thinks is too difficult and Skata being violently protective of someone being nice to her.
