Chokecherry in pen and ink

Am I the only one who wonders why it's always pen AND ink? Shouldn't the ink part be understood? I mean, it's not like the pen does a whole helluva lot without the ink.

Anyway.

This is a chokecherry branch done with an old-style dip pen. Kind of silly, really. I own a decent pigment pen; why would I bother with a drippy dip pen in preference to a neat nylon tip?

No idea.

And at least it's not another tulip doodle.
