This week we are staying at our daughter's apartment with our 2 year old and 1 year old grandchildren while they are out of town. Even though we could have gone on a nature walk in Riverside Park, we somehow only managed to walk around several blocks in the neighborhood before naptime. We did find lots of stuff: a dried seed pod, green flower petals on a branch that fell from a tree, several peanuts that were left for the squirrels under a bench. a small pebble that my grandson loved, a dried piece of tree branch left over from autumn, two pigeon feathers, and the ubiquitous yellow caution tape that is around every sidewalk project in New York City. We had so much fun on our outing that I wanted this to be my EDM Challenge #63.

I love the juxtaposition of the yellow tape with the pieces of natural detritus. It places the sketch into context which gives it an extra dimension.
