So White

I crept up slowly to this blazing white phlox to see what kind of brown moth was fluttering in the breeze, only to discover it was a dead leaf. Oh well.

My meadow rue isn’t coming back. I get to see it in abundance in one of the places I walk my dog, but I shouldn’t take a plant home or should I??

Getting Ready

I have been admiring nature journals for a long time and decided to give it a try starting today. Here are some components of an abundant fern in my yard that will be the models for my first attempt. I have a few other things lined up, but since there’s no way I’m going to sit on the ground out in public drawing, painting, and writing for a few hours, I’m wondering if any of you take things such as wildflowers from public spaces or do you draw from photos?
