United Nations Day and Inktober’s ‘extinct’

 United Nations Day and Inktober’s ‘extinct’, 10/24/21.

Cat and Pig consider both. For a kid growing up in NYC and New Jersey, the United Nations and the Museum of Natural History were very regular class trips. What wonders to see those huge skeletons and animal models.

Fall leaves to draw and color

 Maybe you know what kind of leaves these are! I just drew them from some reference art but they were not identified…..

Maybe you can try to identify them. And what would you like to see?

How about some leaf and tree jokes too?

This is not an oaking matter.
