Just for the record: I would be hard pressed to choose a favorite. It really depends on my mood and the weather. Apples are easier to eat on the go since they don't have to be peeled, but you've still got the core to dispose of (which isn't too hard). You can simply eat the whole thing, of course. I've done that a couple times, minus the stem. But if I'm going to eat the core I usually prefer just the part in the middle, with the seeds. Some apple seeds are actually pretty good, and taste very...apple-y. I assume there's some additional nutrition in there. Some cores are a little husky though. While oranges do have to be peeled, you can't deny their packaging is also a plus. You don't have to wash the fruit itself, and it is kept safe while rolling around the floor of your car or across the ground or, in rare cases, dropped into a goat's pen. It's fun to eat the sections of an orange or tangerine. Navel oranges also come with a bonus baby orange on one end. Can apples do that? I don't think so. Then again, you can't make very good pie with an orange. Or cobbler.
...I better stop now.

Tree House
Well it's not very detailed, but hey. When I think of a tree house, I think of Swiss Family Robinson. Now THAT is a tree house. I always liked touring the full scale one at Disney's Magic Kingdom.

Mug
I didn't know what to draw so I drew the mug that is sitting nearby. I drink water from it 99% of the time, but since it is a holiday mug, it looks best with something hot and steamy/creamy/frothy inside. I've also eaten cereal out of it. ;)

Storm Chaser
When we were kids we used to try to catch wind by holding pieces of cardboard over our heads as a storm rolled in. We would run and jump with the gusts. It was hard to hold on, but it did make us jump farther. Anything to feel like flying.
Hope everyone's safe during the hurricane.

Snow Lodge
Our intrepid explorer trudges through a snowy forest, hunched against the chill of a seemingly eternal dusk. Ahead, she spies the warm glow of lights from a mountain lodge. She can almost smell the aroma of hot chocolate and spicy apple cider waiting beside a crackling fireplace....

Unicorn Pegasus
Sometimes I like sketches better than finished drawings.
Goin' out for a hike today. I just need to get away from things. One of those emo trips, you know.

Goin' Underground
A bit extreme, perhaps, but I wouldn't mind at least having a garden. When you live in an apartment, your options are limited.
Alternate ending:
Or maybe there's a dude down there pushing a button, like in Lost. Better yet, how about giant crystals and mushrooms and reptiles. Journey to the Center of the Earth fueled many a childhood fantasy. (Oh, and I just remembered Land of the Lost too, haha.)
