This weekend, Bradley (son) and I decided to go for a walk at our local wetlands. I have posted about Berrinba Wetlands before so, if you are interested, you can read about those times HERE.
The information centre I guess you would call it although it's always empty when we are there.
The huge sign at the start of the walkway.
From the lookout point, I was excited to see quite a few pelicans gathered on the rock formation busily preening themselves and soaking up the warmth of the sun. I ADORE pelicans!
We crossed a few different types of bridges on our walk
I always feel a little sad when I see a downed tree. I wondered if it was from the aftermath of Cyclone Debbie...we did have gale-force winds.
We also met this little character. Relax....it's not a snake! It is, in fact, a Burton's Legless Lizard and I do plan to add him into the sketchbook spread below. Lizards have a long, pointy head and they also have eyelids and a fleshy tongue...key characteristics that snakes don't have.
And now to my sketch from our venture. I apologise for the poor lighting. It is not a complete page spread but I'm liking how it so far. I will also be adding text about our time there.
Now for my contribution to Sunday Sketches hosted by the lovely Alexandra Macvean. I decided to sketch a pair of eyes. Here, the paper is still quite wet hence the rippling.
And the final stage
