Tied up this cute little fly in hand. The wings were very fiddly. Haven't made one of these since last winter. There are plenty of imperfections, but it's a good first attempt for the season. The gold and green wraps are button hole silk. The collar is some kind of duck. The wings are speckled quail.

A fly fishing lure sits on a cork coaster. It has a gold butt and a green body. There is a silver wire sparsely wrapped around the body. At the head of the fly, the shaft of a fluffy is wrapped around the shank of the hook to create a loose veil around the body. A pair of quail feathers protrude above the body like the wings on an insect.

Twilight had cast across the city, as Penny made her way from the factory to a pub named Yakob's five blocks away. She took a circuitous route, starting her journey in the direction of her own home, and then veering off toward the bar half way.

When she arrived, she paused outside the door, and suddenly there was a hand on her shoulder. "Hwaa!" she cried craning her neck around, to see a young man she didn't recognize.

•──⋅☾.1 The Mad Frank☽⋅──•

Note: For those who have been following The Moon’s Hindmost Wound, this story takes place between chapters 11 and 12, before the debriefing.

When Mao got out of the carriage, she was exhausted. The events of the last two days had been draining. First, there was the Mushroom Princess, and then the attempted assassination of the Moon Prince. Everything turned out fine in the end, but Mao would rather live a peaceful life away from royalty and people with wind in their heads.

Speaking of people who were touched, she sighed. The Mad Frank was standing in front of a neighboring brothel, shouting about a guiding star, gifts, and three kings.

At least he wasn’t raving about the end of times. Some of the younger girls got worked up over that. They hadn’t learned yet that someone was always predicting the end of the world. Sometimes, their followers gathered to celebrate when the event was to occur. She had heard of one group that drank poisoned fruit juice when the world failed to end. They were either the Jonesites or the Seven Stars Approach.

Never mind. She was going to get some rest and enjoy her spoils.

“He’s at it again,” said Ukyou, Verdigris House’s bouncer, greeting her.

“Very,” she replied.

“You look tired. I’ll try to steer Madam away from you if she comes looking.”

She nodded in thanks, thinking, “A fool’s errand. Grams is unstoppable, especially if someone tries to deter her.”

She made her way to the shack she called home when she wasn’t at the palace. Luomen was out, which she was glad about. It meant she could do as she pleased.

Before going to sleep, she wanted to look over her treasures. First was the small pot of poison she had received from the assassin. Then came the mushrooms and herbs she had gathered. Of those, the best were the windhead mushrooms and bugbane berries. She carefully put the lemony deathcaps aside.

On second thought, though, she hid them. No point in risking someone eating them or a lecture from Luomen. She wouldn’t sample them, no matter how tempting. And finally, the three roasted #quail she had snagged coming back.

A very round quorb or borb with a chestnut colored face and underparts. The keen eye is accented by a sweep of pale Egyptian looking "eye liner." The bird stands on a mossy log with the blur of green forest behind. This is the Chestnut Wood-Quail., a rare endemic to Colombia. La Florida. Nov 2025. Photo by Peachfront.

A series of 4 drawings, imitating the opening of Kirby's Adventure except it's a quail: "First you draw a circle," "Then you dot the eyes." "Add a great big ahoge" "And presto, it's" Kirby has been crossed out, and the words "a quail." have been crudely written next to it

This week's wildlife video is a bit of a short break from the usual (mostly because I need it). Earlier this summer we had a guest show up and hang around the house for a while that hasn't been in the area for a couple years now: Bobwhites! Along with them, a few other feather friends that made themselves a little more obvious than usual.

"Quail At the Thought"
Teableau for 11/20/25

One of the great delights of my life is to see the little deedly-bobber on the hood of a California Quail.

Tea tableau with a theme of California Quail, depicted on a decorative plate and as a metal sculpture, with a colorful abstract tea cozy, vintage floral china, and a chunk of amethyst geode, upon a quilted mat with an Autumn leaves pattern. The tea is a cannister of Wild Coast herbal tea with an image of a California brown bear and California poppies

Two striking birds with predominantly dark, iridescent plumage and vibrant red feathers on their heads and around their eyes. Their red legs and beaks add a splash of colour against their dark bodies. The birds appear to be foraging on a rocky, textured surface. The red crest on their heads is particularly eye-catching, standing upright and contrasting sharply with their dark feathers. The background features naturalistic stone elements, enhancing the impression of a carefully designed habitat.
