I thought Texas weather was unpredictable but Arizona monsoon season is a force to be reckoned with. The winds knocked two baby birds out of our palm tree in the front yard today.
I know it is morbid but I knew the moment I saw them that I had to sketch one for my daily drawing and I grabbed the camera. I sketched him as gently as I could.
And that is a wrap! Day Thirty's photo was taken at Oliver Nature Park in Mansfield, TX earlier this summer. The labeling of each drawing evolved during the project. In the bottom left-hand corner is the sequence number of the drawing within the 30-day time frame and the location of where the reference photo was taken. My take away from this particular project was having the opportunity to spend more time with a special moment I had in nature. It allowed me to marvel at the intricacies of the plants and animals around us.
r.i.p. little bird.
