One thing that I find interesting about winter twigs are leaf scars; in some species they are incredibly consistant while in others such as mockernut hickory (Carya abla) they are extrememly variable. Here I illustrated 3 lateral buds and their associated leaf scars as well as outlines showing the variety of shapes of leaf scars that were on this one twig.

You are Masterful with those pencils. I love pencil work but it makes arthiritis known in my hands. I am glad you wrote what you did about the different pencils you have tried. I always thought that those Prisma pencils broke because of something I did to them...like use them. grrrrrrr Very frustrating.
