Welcome to my online journal, “Natural Notes”.
These notes reflect my interest in nature, history and beauty. Since retirement, I have more freedom to spend time in nature. This is leading me to learn the plants I see along the shores, bogs and woods of New Brunswick. With the help of many expert botanists (NB Botany Club, UNB Connell Memorial Herbarium), my love for botany is blossoming. This new interest is also drawing me towards botanical illustrations: the scientific and artistic depiction of plants. If I draw a plant, I observe all its details – from its intricate flowers to the curve of its leaves. So for now, I am either taking a walk in nature or making a line on paper. You are welcome to join me. Thank you, Susan
