Acorn Hunting

I have been so busy with so many projects lately!

Since lockdown started I changed my art style completely, I now draw realism.

I also started painting ALOT more.

I also may have gotten just a little bit of blog fright.

Every time I tried to write a post, I completely blanked and the words just didn't come.

But here I am now, a new blog post!

Happy Autumn everyone.

The best season of them all.

Warm enough to wear extra large hoodies and shorts, cold enough to have millions of blankets and coffee!

Magical coffee.

Today, me and my dad went acorn hunting!

We went for a walk down this little ally way near our house.

It is overgrown with trees, grass, and bushes.

Nothing like the typical ally way.

It leads all the way through half of the estate and at the bottom we found a massive collection of acorn trees!

We looked for brown ones or acorns with their shell on the top still.

The green ones aren't ready yet.

And collected them all into a bag.

We left enough for the squirrels down the bottom and took enough to feed our squirrels at the top!

In our front garden, we have a mini grass area surrounded by bushing that we put a mini feeder into.

Its in the shape of a mini hut and you can put nuts and stuff inside.

We have a whole bag of acorns for the squirrels!

It was super fun getting my fingers in the dirt.

We also saw a few squirrels and a few white wisheys.

I don't know the real name of the white wisheys but they have millions of little white things that you can blow on and they come off the stem.

I recommend doing this on your nature walks to help animals in your local area!

Because we have so many buildings now, animals find it harder to find shelter and food.

Having bird feeders and food in your gardens for animals helps them out a lot!

Have a lovely morning/afternoon/night everyone!
