I liked the arrangement of this cluster of fig leaves. I didn’t need my camera app to recognize these leaves.

I was struck by all these leaves sprouting from a central point. At first I thought there were 8 leaves, but when I started to sketch I saw the 9th hiding behind the others. I would have expected the name of the tree to have some kind of reference to 9, maybe in Latin, like […]

These leaves are from Indian Tree Spurge, according to my phone. This is a common plant in my neighborhood. I think it is a succulent.

I like this thick bark. My photo app has no idea what tree it is. I think it is probably some kind of pine tree, but I have to go back and look to see if it has leaves or needles. Please visit my Etsy shop for my artwork for sale inspired by my autistic […]
My photo app says this is a Callery Pear tree. I like that each little chunk of bark is like a topographic map with nesting elevations.
