Made a few sketches in my journal this weekend. One sketch was after a paragraph about migration to my city and its growing population. A flock of birds drawn in pencil and watercolor is flying against a lined blue sky.

The other sketch was about government corruption.

A bird with a red crest is perched on a branch.

I didn’t intend the images to line up like this; both were just images of birds I saw while hiking this weekend. But the migration paragraph was followed by the image of migrating waterfowl, and the corruption paragraph was followed by an image of a woodpecker looking for insects in the branch it was perched on.
