My grand daughter sent me a (very goth) mood board to give me inspiration for her birthday gift; this is what I ended up making for her. She “really really likes it”, so I take that as a win.

Channel Islands Nature Journalers met at the botanic garden today, but it was unexpectedly closed. Not to be deterred, we spent a few hours observing the nature in the adjacent park. I was entertained by the contortions of a fastidious drake.

I was intrigued by the differences in the plant communities on the north and south sides of the ridge, so decided to record the obvious species. I ended up hiking about twice as far as I planned, because I inadvertently left my art supply bag near the turnaround point and didn’t discover the fact till I was nearly all the way back to the start. Lucky it was lovely weather and I didn’t have to be anywhere else.

Haliaeetus leucocephalus
We have a pair of nesting bald eagles at the local lake, and I caught a glimpse of them the other day. Very exciting! They don’t have a webcam, but they do have a Facebook page.
