Favorite words. Aghast. The gall of some people, I tell you!!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CvM7ZVgg1V9/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Favorite words. Gloaming. Dusk. For some reason, makes me think of the opening to Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

Favorite words. Peregrine. Nothing to be thoughtful or clever here. Peregrine is peregrine. I just like the sound of it. And the birds themselves too.

Linger. It is such a pretty word, isn't it? Did NOT make a pretty drawing for it. Favorite words. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cr0yZ8QO-nj/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Dismal. Another one of my favorite words. And incidentally, I am so good at drawing dogs. Dismally good. https://www.instagram.com/p/CrlUREQudDf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Kaputnik. Kaputnik is a conjunction of the word "kaput" (meaning "broken, damaged, destroyed") and "Sputnik" (Russian robotic spacecraft). Meaning is obvious: something which hasn't come up to expectations. Suggested by @dimetartemid who disappeared since. Come back! https://www.instagram.com/p/CriphjGgO_F/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Rust is a funny word to illustrate. It is so sturdy a word that I had a hard time abstracting from it.

I love absurdities. And I do love fish with butts. https://www.instagram.com/p/CrOJIlCOZbm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Susurration is a favorite word that I share with @ghostkismet and Tiffany Aching. Just noticed that I misspelled it, but in my defense, I don't think there are enough S's in this word; there should be MORE! https://www.instagram.com/p/CrL4wZEuYcQ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Catty corner or kitty corner or also cater cornered. Such a weird expression that today I learned is to be identified with obsolete cater “four”, from Middle French quatre. Favorite words. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq8Dw2QO_Vr/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Discombobulated. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq3ov0dpaC3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Taciturn. I don't know any other creature most temperamentally disinclined to talk than fish. I have a few at home and they are a very quiet company.

Swimmingly is such a good word! I personally swim like a brick, so usually try not to describe things in my life as such. Inspired by a photograph by a photograph by Michael Carlebach. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqk3W01uzUv/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
