Yesterday's News


If a picture is worth a 1,000 words, I offer this one to express my dismay over the massive "plume" of oil still below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico. The operative word is "below". As long as the surface looks better, happy days are here again. Except for the destroyed marine life. And the livelihoods derived from it. For who knows how long.

I remember swimming in the clearest most aqua blue salt water, walking on the brightest white sugar sand beaches of the Gulf, imaging I could almost see Mexico on the turquoise horizon. (sigh). So before this turns into 1,000 words, I'm going to hold that thought and go for a walk with Daisy-the-dog, to enjoy this beautiful late summer Friday afternoon.

WELCOME!

I'm Judy Stead, illustrator. Judifan is my blog about what I'm working on, amazed by, pondering, questioning. Most of my published work is in children's books, but I like to remain uncategorized, ever open to the miracle of a new idea, the prospect of "what next?".
