Colour schemes for May... 1. This is actually a d Colour schemes for May...

1. This is actually a ditch between 2 fields. It's often manky and full of litter, but the other day it looked quite nice.

2. May is a very green month, so there needed to be one mainly green colour scheme!

3. I said before that the person who said, "Blue and green should not be seen unless there's something in between" must never have looked up and seen green leaves against a blue sky. When I pixelated the photo some purple appeared, which I thought was rather nice.

4. Hawthorn flowers are usually white, but I've noticed a variety that have tinges of pink.

It always amazes me how much one tiny patch of woo It always amazes me how much one tiny patch of woodland can change from one week to the next.

At the moment it is very green. The hawthorn is flowering, although it's now past its best, but it still smells gorgeous. The rowans are flowering too, and where the flowers are almost over, there are tiny little green berries already. Some of the leaves still have their springtime hints of gold or pink.

There are lots of birds, and I can hear little creatures rummaging around in the undergrowth, although they are hard to spot. There is traffic noise too (it's hard to escape it completely), but I can choose to acknowledge it and focus on the birds instead.

I love the woods, and because of this I am working on a new guide. I've called it Things to Make and Do in the Woods in Summer: A Guide for Creative People. It's a bit like The Wild Blossom Companion, but it includes some forest bathing style things as well as some creative invitations to do in the woods and later when you get home.

I will share more about it when it is ready (it almost is). In the meantime, there is a free version of the Wild Blossom Companion if you fancy taking a look. The link is in my bio ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒธ

Remember making butterfly pictures as a child? The Remember making butterfly pictures as a child? The ones I made the other week looked like flowers.

So I made them look more like flowers with a pen!

There's really no right or wrong way. Just draw what you can see in the shapes ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒธ
