We met at Ivy Creek for the second field sketchbook class. It was a cooler morning and we spent time sketching under the walnut tree (with larvae of some sort crawling through the nuts) while documenting the insects visiting the Verbesina alternifolia (wingstem), the colorful berries of the Phytolacca americana (pokeweed), the soft stem of Rhus aromatica (fragrant sumac), and the delicate blue tube flower of Ipomea hederacea (ivy-leaved morning glory).
