I've been getting cabin fever, with the sun shining and birds calling I needed to get outside. I rushed through my chores, grabbed a camera and set off. It was a lot warmer than I thought it was going to be, so rather than going to the beach I headed for the river to find the evidence of Spring. Today wasn't about painting or sketching so much, more of a reconnaissance for future work and a recharging the batteries so I didn't do any sketching just took a few snaps as reminders of where to revisit. I'm always drawn to the river reflections, there may be a series of drawings based on them in the not too distance future.

I had to include this snap of the black headed gulls. They line up along the bridge waiting for the people who come to feed the ducks. As you walk towards them they size you up for any goodies they might want then as you get too close one by one they drop of the side. They make me think of synchronised swimmers diving into the pool.
Oh, I envy your green. We're still probably six weeks away from the first leaves here... assuming we ever get enough moisture. LOVE the gulls in a row, and the reflected trees.
ReplyDeleteIt is getting a bit warmer here too, I love spring!! Even work goes better when it is sunny outside!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Lisa! I love the water reflections and spring mood. Thanks for sharing. I am yearning to go out with my camera to see nature waking up. I hope I´ll do on weekend. I am looking forward to your work inspired by this photos.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherrie, funnily enough I think of you and lino printing when I see the gulls. We've plenty of rain here today if you'd like some ;o)
ReplyDeleteHi Veronika, everything is better with sunshine! I hope your dissertation is going well.
I hope you are feeling better Marcela, flu is no joke. Still you will be up and about in no time out in the spring sunshine. Best wishes.
Lovely photos, I especially like the green reflections on the dark blue-gray water :) Thanks for taking us along on your walk today.
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda, you are most welcome. There are some beautiful colours in the reflections at the moment. The small areas of spring green buds are starting to show. It all changes so quickly once it starts.
