It was raining in Alabama this Thanksgiving weekend, and so I took a nature walk indoors. The corridors of the retirement community where my father lives has many marvelous works of art, some by naturalists of the past who sketched and painted images of the trees, birds, insects, and plants they came upon. It was a fascinating tour around the world without leaving the building.

The subjects held still for the camera, but reflections in the glass of the frames were a challenge. I could not find the artists' names for the details above.
