I kept a journal when I took a college class called "Trees and Shrubs." I minored in biology, and took quite a few botany classes. They were easier to get into than the zoology ones. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472066924589276730.post-60065633651128931752017-02-12T10:24:08.392-08:002017-02-12T10:24:08.392-08:00I'm glad you are back to blogging.I'm glad you are back to blogging.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12830177691014290662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472066924589276730.post-6989077892204809492017-02-12T04:59:22.240-08:002017-02-12T04:59:22.240-08:00Just beautiful.

I especially enjoy it when the artist has made it theirs - instilling insects and birds as your Marianne North has done. Time to find another instructor.
