Artist’s Date: Research Trip

I went on a hunt for a tree. With my kids.

My daughter brought a sketchbook and a field guide to trees. My son brought four plastic screwdrivers.

BRP Mushrooms

 

My WIP has a Hawthorn tree that’s important in the story, and a friend brought me a Hawthorn branch last winter. But I really wanted some leaves because the leaves are also important in the story. So are these mushrooms.

We hiked on a few different trails on the hunt for the Hawthorn tree, even looked for some park rangers, but we didn’t find either one.

But we did spot some really interesting things on our walks, even if they weren’t what we were looking for.
