Some of the nicer ones from recent days:
Dana came home with a popular men's magazine, and Matthew McConaughey was on the cover. Fine, great, whatever. BUT. The photo spread inside the magazine also featured a Cinereous Vulture. Awesome!
A random macaw:
A fern front surreptitiously plucked from the side of a tree:
The head of a Downy Woodpecker:
Dandelion bits, sketched "in the field" at the Union Bay Natural Area... actually, sitting at the side of a raised bed and plucking bits of dandelion plant to observe and draw. Not very exotic, granted, but I don't feel badly about dismantling dandelion plants, for one. And from a botanical drawing standpoint, they're good to observe because they tend to do everything (bud, flower, go to seed) all at once.
I'll try to be better going forward, but the next four or five weeks are going to be harrowing. One of my classmates said that she made a list of everything she has to do, and for the first time ever, it didn't make her feel better.
Hmmmm.....
