A cicada net kept the birds away... a bumper crop of blueberries!
Today fellow volunteers and I swung shovels in waist high grasses, then planted milkweed. Alonso Abugattas, Arlington’s Natural Resource Manager, led our brigade — working to improve the habitat for monarch butterflies along the WO&D trail. Alonso writes about monarchs, cicadas, herps of all kinds, and just about anything related to nature in the Capital Naturalist. www.capitalnaturalist.blogspot.com I joined the volunteers when I became an Arlington Regional Master Naturalist. #virginianativeplants
I bought strawberries at the farmers market today, and we were allowed to choose our produce! Make sure to follow your doctor’s advice and get your vaccination, if you can. This watercolor was painted in 2019. #watercolor #farmersmarketart #artinarlingtonva #arlingtonvasummer
Can you identify trees by their leaves or seeds? Do you recognize poison ivy when you brush by it on the path? Jacqueline Jules offers advice in her poem “Identifying Ivy.” #naturepoetry #naturedrawing #naturejournals #naturebasedlearning #environmentaleducation #discoveragarden #arlingtonarts see bit.ly/liz_treeID or link in bio
