Nature Notes from My Journal

Yes, Pom Pom, 

I did draw at least one of the unexpected guests in my garden. 

This praying mantis was a master 

(or mistress?) of camouflage, 

 and really blended in with the green leaves 

of the deliciously fragrant lemon balm.

 I found a beautiful blue-jay feather this week 

that I want to add to my journal.

 I am trying to decide whether 

to make a little pocket, 

to draw it, 

or both.

Isn't it lovely?

Wherever you are, whatever the weather, I wish you joyful discoveries.
