I did 2 for this subject, an Exmoor pony which I messed up so I did a seahorse. I then decided to go back and redo the pony which I am happier with will upload both.

Himalayan Balsam finished recently. An invasive non native species that often grows by rivers and spreads rapidly. Produces very pale pollen which bees and wasps get covered in & are often referred to as "ghost bees".
