A combination of my worlds. My nature journal notes and drawings combined with images captured on noted adventure days!

January's first hike of the year! Un-listed is this cool insect that I have no idea what it is.

With the warm weather, there has been some slight growth with the early bloomers. These hepatica leaves, though, are from last year's growth - at the base of the cluster is where the new bulbous starts are filling out.

For the past year I've been contemplating how to merge these two mediums. While I'm sure it'll evolve over time I do like where this is going!

Thanks for sharing your journal entries Em. And the photos too. I enjoy them both. I like that you notice and know what the little rosettes are. I try to pay some attention to these small patches of green in winter and early spring, but mostly don't know what they will become!

Thanks John!
It’s taken me years of intentionally studying and watching the rosettes to understand what they are and how they work. It’s so amazing to me a teeny tiny clump of leaves in the winter can turn into a blooming plant nearly as tall as me by early summer.
Nature is so cool! :)
