In my place journal this week, I sketched Dock, Ribwort Plantain, Sweet Vernal Grass, Lesser Spearwort, Wavy Bittercress, Sycamore flowers, Hawthorn, and a passing Orange Tip butterfly, along with a wee sketch of the meadow.
We worked on our phenology wheels for April:
Rose has been keeping a close eye on the tadpoles in our pond, and sketched one for her nature journal.
In my Calendar of Firsts, I sketched a Dandelion, or ‘Fairy’ Clock, the first Orange Tip butterfly I have seen this year, and I recorded that it was May Day this week.
How are your journals coming along this week?
Happy exploring!
Not great but we did get them out. We’ve only had one nature walk. I can’t believe I didn’t think to take them to our trip to Niagra Falls- but perhaps tomorrow we can do a sketch from memory or a photograph!
Oh golly, you visited the Niagra Falls!!! How wonderful! You could definitely sketch from a photo x
