The weather has been similar to yesterday, so I got cosy and added colour to the drawing I did yesterday.

The weather has been very temperamental here, windy & raining, with sunny spells. So after pottering in the garden, I did some drawing 🙂

My niece really likes Turtles (Marine / Sea ones, not the species which Americans call Tortoises). My sister asked me to draw her one ☺️

I like to take pictures at different stages, to see / show my progression 😊

Thanks for visiting! 💚

“Write a wild poem”

15/06/16

The weather has been inclement again, and I was off to the N.E.C later as a member of Press, to report on BBC Gardeners’ World Live. So I opted to write a wild poem; I was happy there was a break in between showers, because I was able to get out into my partner’s garden to recite my poem.

Thanks. 🙂

Hello! Welcome to my first Entry! Especially for Day 1 of the Challenge – wildlifetrusts.org/30DaysWild – which The Wildlife Trust has set us, the British nation! This is my first ever real Blog! So I’ll keep this post simple and won’t over think it. I created the above picture using:

Red Clover – wikipedia.org/wiki/Trifolium_pratense
Broad-Leaved Dock – wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumex_obtusifolius
Bracken – wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennstaedtiaceae
Holly – wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilex_aquifolium
Hornbeam – wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpinus_betulus
Red Campion – wikipedia.org/wiki/Silene_dioica
Oak – wikipedia.org/wiki/Quercus_robur

I kinda did a timelapse video of how I achieved today’s challenge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glISim4KIyU
