The wait was short so the sketch was quick. Yet more fake plants.

Eucalyptus cinerea
We went to nature journal orchids, but I spent my time down memory lane with a silver dollar eucalypt instead.

in sycamore shade
I had a slight miscommunication with A, which had me arriving at our hiking spot first (most unusual!) But of course, waiting is never a problem when you have a sketchbook handy.

back to bart’s
After a visit to the bike shop, I stopped in at Bart’s for a sketch’n’browse. These two vintage lovelies came home with me. Both have gorgeous typography on the covers, to which I have not done justice.

Pepsis mildei
Fun times with the nature journal club. Turns out that adult tarantula-hawk wasps eat milkweed nectar, when they’re not catching tarantulas and laying their eggs in the paralyzed bodies. How sweet.

stamp with me
Postage stamps are tiny works of art that represent a moment in time and culture. What a pity that they are used so rarely anymore. Even I, inveterate maker and sender of cards and letters, have greatly reduced my use of stamps this year. Instead, a phone call on a birthday has felt sufficient — but is it really? I want to get back to my practice of sending snail mail. I can’t keep using the fire as a mental excuse.
