Nature Sketchbook 001

Mostly sketches, scribbles, and rushed landscapes here are some of my favorite pages from my “nature” sketchbook.

Snakes!

Matt Stansberry and I went in search of rattlesnakes with a few guides for the next Belt magazine column. Geared up in thick boots and gator protectors, we hiked through woods, fields, and swampy areas in search of Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnakes. We turned up two rattlesnakes as well as a few garters and a brown snake.
