I finished a page of vignettes from earlier this summer. You can see the photos I used for reference on this post entitled "Nature Photo Walk": https://betsyblissart.blogspot.com/2025/07/nature-photo-walk.html
Do you ever take walks in nature and find yourself whipping out your phone to snap a photo of a butterfly or beautiful leaf? As I read through Rosalie Haizlett's Tiny Worlds, I realize that I see nature in detail -- the inchworm dangling from an invisible thread, the goldenrod blooming brilliantly in the sunshine, a single turkey feather dropped on the path. Details capture my artist's eye.
It's these small facets in the landscape -- the young cottontail rabbit I saw ahead of me on the grassy trail, the Redstart warbler who surprised me with his quick movements and bright call, the coneflower blooming elegantly in my flower bed-- that bring back that one walk earlier this summer.
What catches your eye right now outdoors? I hope you snap a photo of it, and make a sketch of your tiny worlds!
