First half hour of a typical day. I like to start sloooowwly.

Papa Lennon’s
We don’t eat out often, but this is a pizzeria worth returning to. The pink and turquoise store across the road provides quite a colour contrast to the shaded courtyard.
Hyles lineata
Save the caterpillar? Or save the plant? What would you do?
Alligator mississippiensis
It’s always fun to spend an hour drawing with Danny, JJ, and the DWM gang. This week we drew alligators; I chose graphite and watercolour as my media.

Quercus agrifolia
We have 6 mature oak trees in our yard, so right now we have hundreds of seedlings popping up all over. If you want to come by and transplant some for your place, let me know! We have plenty to spare!

Well, I’m happy to have successfully sewn a garment on the new machine, but I can’t say I love the finished product. The fabric choice wasn’t great, and I made it too large. I’ll take more care with both factors on the next one.

Epipactis gigantea
My docent buddies Rick and Tom showed me a secret (off-trail) trove of stream orchids in the mountains. The hike included bushwhacking through poison oak, and getting wet in the creek. Some blood was shed (by the guys, not me). But we were rewarded with the best stand of Epipactic gigantea I’ve ever seen. Thanks Rick and Tom, it was awesome.
