On day 246 of 365 Days Wild I spent some time drawing snowdrops. It was cold and wet outside, so it was a perfect time to celebrate the approach of Spring through a bit of art work. I first completed two pencil sketches, using the two snowdrop photographs from day 245 as a guide. I … More Snowdrops
