I'm running out of crow reference. I need to go take some crow action shots. I saw this one near Agua Dulce, California in 2021.

I usually use a waterproof drawing ink, but the little bottle of fountain pen ink I've been using for this inktober is not at all waterproof, which I think is fun, even when the drawings get muddy

Crow.

Today's prompt, like every day's prompt, is "crow"

Here's a raggedy crow I saw at Bryce Canyon. Or maybe a raven, I'm bad at telling them apart.

June 8. After a long stop, I was back on the CDT and headed north when I saw this magnificent bull. I thought he deserved a drawing.

June 4, arrived at Ghost ranch. It was interesting seeing all the Georgia O'Keefe locations and paintings. Cerro Pedernal stood out to me.

May 30, walking through a burn always feels desolate, but this was on the mesa after the green of Mount Taylor, which really gave it a walking-into-Mordor vibe.

Afternoon of May 24. I took an alt that had this shack and some other cool sites, but most importantly it got me off the road. Anyway. I do like a good wilderness shack.

May 19, ascended from the Gila to Aeroplane Mesa, which had a bunch of these perfectly round trees in a dry grass field.

May 10th, 2026, cell tower infrastructure near Burro Peak, NM. In the wilderness of the Western US, you sometimes see cell phone infrastructure, rising up on a mountain top in the middle of nowhere, like some kind of demented dying-earth wizard's tower.

Making small watercolor sketches of my CDT LASH.

Oil on board. 6.375" x 12”

In progress.

It's weird that cruise and crews are homonyms, and I feel like there is potential there for punning, or at least difficult sentences like "The cruise crew crews cruises." I wonder if there's a way to extend it in the manner of n buffalo.

My first oil painting. I learned a lot, mostly that I don't know a lot about oil painting.
