Welp, I reaped the rewards of my first charcoal drawing. It's grim, but I'm pretty happy with the result! (⁠ノ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ノ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

I'm not a huge fan of most pictures my phone takes, but this one is definitely an exception! (Also, I'm so glad that there are still bumblebees around here!!)

Here's something to fill the void left by mr forgetting to get the pictures off my camera.

A protobean in its natural habitat...

I submitted these pictures of wildlife to the county fair along with my landscapes! It's really fun playing with the settings on my Fujifilm for these... :)

I took these landscape photos at opposite sides of the United States; one in Yosemite and one in the Shenandoah Valley. Enjoy the views! (⁠ノOwO)⁠ノ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

Here's an interesting sun picture I took on my deck the other day. I really love the way tiny pebble shadows elongate in the early morning... ^⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠^

Here are some cool photos from the end of my scout campout this weekend! Fee things beat morning sun rays and fog... (⁠つ⁠≧OwO≦⁠)⁠つ

Thanks to a friend's comment on insta, I declare the tail canonically is the reaper's shy dragon friend

Working on my first charcoal drawing... Next up are birds and a background (I might do some more with the smoke too)

I definitely rushed the bottom/laces a tad bit to get it ready before county fair submission day, but I overall feel pretty happy with it (⁠◡⁠ w⁠ ⁠◡⁠)
I started this shoe drawing and, like most of my drawings, abandoned it. Conversely to them, it became my third fully colored pencil piece just a few weeks later.

(Enjoy the stupid pun I spent way too much time on ≧>w<⁠≦)

I feel like anyone making a living doing what they love qualifies as a winner (even if it's niche and unusual (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠))

The end of summer brings magic lilies and fireflies dwindling, okra and summer squash forming seeds for next year, and tomatoes, peeling and pieced together for canning.

I saw moss growing among the many pieces of a collapsed lookout tower during a recent hike in the Appalachians...

Here are some interesting moss + shrooms images I took with my phone, they aren't amazing but do show the beauty of Virginian forests pretty well...
