So much is happening right now in nature! Out on a walk in the state park, we stopped for a rest, and I found this lovely tree with lichen growing up the trunk.
As I was drawing it, a male Eastern Bluebird perched nearby and sang. Absolutely enchanting!
Now I get to keep this memory and return to it in my nature journal.
Digging in the garden as I planted potatoes, carrots, onions and beets, I turned up this large pupa (2-3" long). Looking it up online, I discovered it was the pupa of a tomato hornworm or sphinx moth. I tucked it back under the earth where I'd found it in the hopes that a lovely moth will emerge.
What is happening in nature around you? I hope you take a moment to sit outside and make some sketches & observations in your nature journal.
Hi Betsy, these are lovely! Did you use colored pencils for the hues in these sketches?
ReplyDeleteHi Janet, Yes, I used Prismacolor colored pencils for these drawings.
