Sweetgum leaf in watercolor

Three out of three people wanted to see various media, so here is my latest entry in my perpetual journal. A very unusual coloration on an autumn sweetgum leaf.
Late and Wet
October 26, 2021 § 9 Comments
Wrangling with a new computer, a week of mainly rain, homework for classes, finding myself a little less tolerant of technology.
But between the downpours, I had to admire my late blooming wet fuchsia this morning.
I have been spending time on natural history illustration, botanical illustration and the perpetual journal and dealing with tech. This has meant a lot less time on photography. My big question is would you prefer a mixed media blog with more posts or stick with occasional photo posts? Please let me know.

I was struck by the beautiful light next to a path through a wooded area. I hope it comes across in the photo.

A nice autumn wildflower, that despite it’s name doesn’t last forever.
Baby Toad

My promised cute post for you. I thought there was an insect hopping underfoot, but discovered it was a baby toad. Here it is trying to hide from me under a blade of grass.

I have no idea what this is, but it was abundant in an area of the forest floor and I had a morbid fascination with it. Does anyone know what it is? I promise to post something cute next time.

The lovely seeds of thistle ready to blow away, disguising the many thorns on the stems.

Cosmos from a neighbor’s yard and Queen Anne’s Lace from mine formed a lovely little bouquet in a sidewalk crack.
Blue Eyed Sad Face

Lovely shade of blue on two fungi, but the dead grass made them look sad.
Green Cheese

Green cheese polypore and something else to the right on a tree. It’s been a very wet and humid summer, perfect for fungi but not for me or my black dog.
