Camels, Deer, Goats & Sheep Come to Reusable Art

There's been a virtual barn-yard full of animal pictures added Reusable Art in the last few months and a number of new sub-categories as well.

Public Domain Animal Images has always been one of the larger and popular categories on Reusable Art and with these new additions, I hope those of you needing vintage images for web or school projects and crafts can find something useful.

Hummingbirds are among my favorite birds.

The small image shown here can be found listed under small hummingbird drawing.

It's always exciting when they return to our garden each spring. We've watched these tough little birds fight their way through a hurricane on our front porch and conducting aerial combat over our feeders.
