It was a warm sunny afternoon in my backyard. I noticed the heat, a slight breeze swaying branches and leafs. The water fall in my pond, was making some splashy noises that made me imagine to feel cooler. There was some bird activity and singing, and some other wildlife activity. I decided to focus on light and dark patterns on two different trees, a cypress and a banana tree, and tried to sketch in the cardinal that landed in the cypress tree while I was drawing it.
This was a fun activity, it led me to look closer at each of these two ornamental non native flowers. And looked to see how they could be pollinated and wonderedwhat their seeds looked like.
