Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a good reason to resume cyber-sharing the wonder of nature with you. Instead of blogging I've been presenting nature journaling with students of diverse ages through observation, sketching, and writing. 
Join me on an observational walk and see how it inspired me to sketch and write.


Neighborhood color.


Morning sun lighting my sweet gum tree.

November Leaves
a poem of the senses

Flames of leaves light the trees and burn for days.
A bunch of colorful leaves in my hand go straight to my nose for a whiff of fragrance.
If these were lollipops, my mouth would be watering.
Evidence of Fall reaches my ears as I crunch the path.
Meanwhile I hold treasures of the season and rub their leathery smoothness.


Are you inspired to go outside and take a Five Senses Walk?

Thanksgiving 
With Heart
