A tour at the Moss and the Tree

Before the middle of the past month, I spent my little spare time walking around my school. In doing this, I found a bit of peace. Searching for palettes in my future illustrations was also the purpose of these walks, so I try saving memories of them.

Roots rising from the ground and starting to conquer the realm of the moss.

Time to sit down on the grass and watch the sun set in the west.

A Narra tree that has roots like a throne, fit for an unknown king of strange creatures.

Moss populating the realm of rocks and water.

When the dark is approaches, it makes the winds cooler, and the sky turns into orange and dark blue. Somehow, this scenery reminds me of departures.

Stars

Stars? Hanging in the sky of mud? No! They are tiny suns, with an eternal smile fixed in silver, on top of my sketchpad.

I took this picture this May. This month is about to end, yet the rainy clouds just went away and the sun again dominates the sky. Things are getting warmer right now, especially during afternoon, where the tiny clouds were no match to the scourging heat of the sun. Though I like solid blue skies and thick cotton-like clouds, I miss the gray sky of May, but probably they will come back this June since it is the start of the rainy season.

I also like the rainy season of June. It is the time when the trees start to dance in the violent wind, begging the sun to come back, who walked away when a big fat gray cloud entered the scene. But I like this cloud, he always makes me sleepy during the afternoon, and the wind is getting cooler as it strikes down to the streets and window panes. But I also like the sun, he gives me a beautiful sky in the morning, and in the evening, he leaves, promising to show me the stars.

I remember when we went back to my mother's hometown, my siblings, my cousins, and I usually go out of my aunt's house in the evening, set up a wooden platform, and lie there to observe the stars.

I took my bunny to the woods in our school where there were many fireflies. We did nothing for a couple of minutes but watch them dance in the dark. May is the mating season, so they produce light to attract partners. But what's interesting about them is that they usually fly around a tree, creating beautiful swirling lights around it (sadly, I never had a picture of them like this but maybe someday). They are like fairies around their kingdom, or stars visiting the earth, searching for their partners.

Bright Sky Afternoon.

I took this picture during our semesteral break last year. It was a very nice day.

I like cloudy weather, whenever the sun is almost just bright white light, covered with clouds that almost looks like as thick as cotton candy.

I remember that when I was a child, I used to look at the sky during this kind of weather. I scanned the clouds so that I might find unusual shapes. And I found rabbits swimming in a sea of cloud, a chariot with unusual shaped horses, and others.

My sister, who sometimes did this too back when she was a also a child with a friend of hers, drew some of it. She had drawn turtles, a dressed-up lady walking, and a lizard.
