"The bareness of the trees and the appearance of a white snowy landscape help to sharpen the other colors of winter. Find a few minutes this week to notice the colors you can observe in your own backyard, even if it is from your window." -Handbook of Nature Study blog

We brought some clippings inside to sketch in our nature journals. I am always surprised at how much sketching encourages close observation.
