Haven't shared one of my illustrations in a while, so here is one I did a while back as part of a foraging project that I turned into a sticker for autumn.

While at Longwood this past weekend, we went to the meadow so I could see all of the stunning goldenrod in bloom. As I looked around, I saw a small brown thing on the ground, not moving that I assumed was scary, but I looked closer and was thrilled to find the most rotund Meadow Vole who was kind (or scared) enough to let me photograph it.

Now that it's officially autumn, the mum's are everywhere! Many people put them in pots, however if you pop them in the ground and give them some protection (a nice leaf litter layer will do) over the winter, they can return in future years as well!

We usually think of pollinators as being birds, bees, and butterflies, but there are many more!
