Spotted a White-faced Heron looking for food
And some wood ducks enjoyed the park too
WOW! Just look at all those tadpoles!
Aaron's car gives perspective on how large this particular tree was
You can see where this tree's roots are now exposed due to the soil has been washed away when the river rises during heavy rain periods
And I even managed a quick ink sketch
It was so relaxing that we all felt like a nap when we got back home. Instead, we watched the movie, Signs, starring Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix.
Until next time...
Beautiful outing and a fine sketch!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christine...we had a beautiful day for sure. :)
DeleteLovely quiet place it looks like. Love the tadpoles...haven't seen any in so long in that kind of setting. Your sketch is really nice.
ReplyDeleteI know, right?! As soon as I saw the tadpoles all clustered like that, I immediately ran for my phone to take a picture. Thanks for dropping by, Pattie. :)
DeleteThat tree is huge! The picture of the tadpoles reminded me of growing up next to Moore Lake and seeing masses of tadpoles just like that!! Nice memories. What a beautiful park to spend some peaceful time. :)
ReplyDeleteWe had the most beautiful day there, Rita. :)
DeleteGlad you were able to enjoy such a relaxing outing, and so much nature and wildlife too.
ReplyDeleteIt had been quite a while since we had a family day trip so I truly had a lovely and relaxing day at that beautiful spot. :)
DeleteLooks like it was an absolutely gorgeous day. Such a peaceful outing and a nice spot for sketching.
ReplyDeleteIt was the perfect spot, Tammy! We could have done without the flies but, out country where there's lots of cattle about, it was too be expected.
Deletesuch a nice place for a picnic and a drawing session :)
ReplyDeleteIt was. We had such a lovely day. :)
DeleteLove the tadpoles.
ReplyDeleteHey YOU! It's been a while...
DeleteYep, I just had to get a pic of those tadpoles. :)
