Somewhere in Orange County, California lives a small hummingbird with a large, world-wide audience. Thanks to technology, we get to watch her raise her two babies. They hatched yesterday to much excitement. Nature Sketchers have been practicing on her:

And I’ve been doing some practice with this willing ‘model’ but haven’t yet scannned them in to share. I’m still not very confident with my sketches, but when I look at them after letting them ‘rest’ a day or two, I seem to like them better. The hardest part seems to be that first mark on the page. So even though I’m a beginner at this, I’ll find something to share here in the next few days.
