I had a totally different post for today, but in light of the recent news, I thought you all might enjoy more of an escape, so I replaced the prepared post with Argus-eyed, above. Coincidentally, the image I had prepared for the other challenge applies for both, and I didn’t do that on purpose. Here’s a preview of next week’s challenge …maybe?

30SAL Challenge: Argus-eyed
Thursdays are vocabulary days for our 30 Day Creative Challenge, and our inspiration for today comes from Greek Mythology.
Argus-eyed
Origin
Early 17th century in Greek mythology Argos was the name of a watchman with a hundred eyes. (Source: Lexico)
Animalia
Argus is referenced in the scientific names of at least six animals, each of which bears a pattern of eye spots: reptiles Cnemaspis argus, Eremias argus, Sibon argus, the Argus goanna Varanus panoptes and Sphaerodactylus argus; the pheasant Argusianus argus; and the cowry Arestorides argus.

You know how this works…
Set a timer for 20 minutes. When the timer chimes, continue if you wish, but 20 minutes is a win.
Post your work to the new Padlet for January 5-10.
