We went across the pond to West Seattle to the art supply store to pick up a "Watercolor Field Kit", .01 micron pens, .05 HB mechanical pencil with extra lead and erasures, a 3" X 5" watercolor/drawing notebook.
At the school bookstore I will be picking up extra 5.5x8.5 plain and narrow ruled paper as well as a set of fold out magnifying lenses.
All told I'm 98% complete with supplies for trip and the first quarter. Books are ordered from TESC and i received the alt books from Amazon the last two days.
Started reading Cascade*Olympic Natural History and can already tell you about 'nurse logs', tree zones, who named the 'Douglas Fir' and his gory demise in Hawaii, how Hemlocks are taking over the forest landscapes (prolly in the next million years) and am moving onto timberlines. Exciting no?
Marianne has been sooo supportive in this process and I don't know how I could make this adventure without her!
Cheers peeps, keep the home fires stoked and look up now and again you might see something!
