You did warn us...I am sitting here crying right now because I know how you felt. It devistates me anytime I hit any living creature but I agree with Cheryl's comment that your painting bestowes the little fella immortality, and what a beautiful place to be buried and by a human who actually cared! You did good by showing the little bat and the cosmos your respect for life! I look forward to getting to know you in class...<br />BethBeth at Crazy4Art4uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17982879563023335599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633216219767219977.post-5014358952730801962010-07-16T14:20:06.020-04:002010-07-16T14:20:06.020-04:00how sad....lovely painting none the less....how sad....lovely painting none the less....Lynn Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094038275377357886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633216219767219977.post-85685004967377823432010-07-16T10:39:39.086-04:002010-07-16T10:39:39.086-04:00Yes, I do hate hitting anything with my car.

I did hit a raccoon at night once. It just makes you feel sick. So sorry for your bat. I guess his radar wasn't working properly that day.

A Beautiful Flicker on my lawn was scared by me when I opened our door the Day Lynn was due to visit and took of smack into our front window... with blinds on and all and died. I bawled my head off.
