A sketchbook in front of illuminated display cases containing fossils. A giant insect hovers above. Text: Carboniferous The Carboniferous period began 358 million years ago. At that time, present-day Dortmund was located on the equator, and the climate was tropical, humid, and warm. In the vast swampland between the coast and an extensive mountain range, forests of tree-high horsetails and clubmosses grew. Giant insects buzzed among the plants, and millipedes several meters long crawled about. The Carboniferous period also holds special significance for the Ruhr region: Over the course of geological history, the remains of these plants formed massive coal seams. The Carboniferous period ended 296 million years ago.

#snowdrops - Thriving beauties of nature, braving the bitterness of cold. Their closed petals hanging like lanterns in the days gloom. Stirring hope in our souls for the wonder and warmth of spring to come.

I might like the idea of urban sketching more than the practice. What would this be called, #naturesketching ?
I tried to just be relaxed with this one and not get caught up in technical stuff. I want to enjoy art again!

Today, between rain showers, I observed a garden spider (Araneus diadematus)🕷️
It caught a honeybee and retreated with its prey to the shelter of a hydrangea blossom.
