I like to document my travels and record what I see. These are my carbon pencil road trip sketches of various plants and experiences across Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. Overlooked plants along the roads and highways I travel on are of special interest to me. Many of them are incredibly resilient, surviving and even thriving with no help from humans. I believe they deserve more study and documentation. Who knows what we can learn from them and how these learnings can help our environmental future?
