It’s official! Today is budburst for #ArborApril 2025 with Cathy Raingarden and the Wild Wonder Foundation! Join in for a month of drawing and journaling trees!

[01] Today’s prompt is Out the Window : Draw a tree you can see out of your windows.

The Eastree lives to the East side of the micro-patio, and it’s just leafing out! I adore how the leaves stack flat like reams of paper riffling and ruffling in the wind. So many critters hang out in this tree, probably because of the bird feeder (or is it a squirrel feeder?) The sound of the wind shimmering through is a reminder of the animacy and vivid life just outside the window. I love how we we see crown-to-eye through all the seasons of the year.
