The wonderful folks at the Hoyt Arboretum looked up the location of their Pinus contorta specimens for me today. Nice to have the library of trees available in this town! * Que conveniente tener una bibliteca de arboles en nuestra cuidad! Los empleados del Hoyt Arboretum me dirigieron a las especiminas de Pinus contorta hoy.
It must be the paper that makes your pieces look like they were pulled from an archive and not your head. I almost feel like I am viewing a lost notebook of David Douglas.... You could add "Modern Day Adventurer" to your list of monikers!
ReplyDeleteWow, David Douglas is a heckuva compliment! I'm using the new Strathmore sketchbook with "warm tan" paper and it makes me quite happy. I hope that I can build my way up to earn a moniker like modern day adventurer...Taking the light rail to the arboretum and asking the volunteer at the desk where I could find the species in question seems like too convenient a process to be compared to Douglas's voyages of exploration.
