The leaves above are a few I found nearby when I sat to draw. We were on the high ridge above the confluence of Meetinghouse Creek and Lawson's Fork, where green is still the dominant color. I saw a sprinkling of yellow, and plenty of pink sourwoods. The closest sourwood was just down the hill a bit so I wandered down and picked up a leaf. While drawing, a Daddy Longlegs came to visit, crawling up my leg, across the page, and onto my hand.
The weather was clear and about 68 degrees, and a nice breeze rattled through the trees and through Daisy's long hair.
Spotted this maple in our woods...
