Good morning everybody and the sun is still shining wonderfully. The farmers and gardeners are being given glimmers of hope as a little rain is forecast for later on in the week. But for now, I just love the sun.

With the limiting of my movements to not very far from home, doing photographic research for my tree project is tricky. No trips to wonderful woods and forests; the the wild, wild woods sadly are not within reach. So as I walk around the streets and locality, my camera is normally over my shoulder and the bottom of hedgerows and tree trunks offer amazing views of complexity of growth and very real challenges to draw. See the above.

With each view, when looked at carefully, the complexity of vegetation growth, and the  range of contrasts are immense. Every square inch of the work needs differing methods of applying ink. Its a sharp learning curve, all good fun and keeping me on my toes. So fresh subjects are everywhere, get out there and have a go.
