This is a simple black-and-white line drawing of a maple seed (often called a helicopter, whirlybird, or maple key) falling from the sky. Two thin, elongated wings extend outward in a wide V shape from a small central joint. Each wing is slightly curved and uneven, with fine, vein-like lines sketched along their length to add texture. The wings taper toward rounded tips, while the centre narrows into a short, thin stem that hangs downward.

A lesson from Grandma Rose about simple pleasures and being intentional with your joy. In 535 words on The Davis Daily.

This is a hand-drawn illustration of the Grinch, a fictional character from the story “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” The Grinch’s face is green with a fuzzy texture, reflecting his fur. His expression is sly and mischievous, with a long curved smile, upturned eyebrows, and half-lidded, slightly narrowed eyes. He looks cunning and smug with a calculated demeanor. He is wearing a bright red Santa Claus hat trimmed with fluffy white fur. The hat's floppy end is tipped with a white pom-pom, leaning to the left side of his head. The Grinch's head is slightly tilted, as though he is plotting something.

This is a picture of a lake. The water is framed on the left and right by tall trees. It's fall and many of the trees' branches are bare. On the far side of the lake is a mountainous shoreline. Small waves ripple across the lake with a light breeze. The sky is cloudy, blocking the sun and casting shadows down on the lake.
