Decided to add one more bison to the sketch page. This one is from a photo I took in the Badlands in 2022. The bison was grazing right near where my sleeping bag and I were stretched out on the ground for stargazing. It added wonderfully to the number of majesties I beheld on that trip.

This is part of my practice of nature journaling (I have required my environmental philosophy students to do this, and so I am doing it, too) and part of my practice of documenting the beauty I see in the world for my infant grandchildren, in hopes that they will appreciate what they see in my sketchbooks, and come to love and preserve for others what they see in this wonderful world that we share.

An ink drawing depicts a bison alongside a landscape of flowing lines, suggesting expansive terrain and distant mountains.
