Pelican

 I love our huge black and white pelicans and theren are plenty of them here.
They gather where fishermen ckean their fish and they come and look at you hopefully when you go and sit by the water.
Such fantastic birds.
I did this from a photo I took of one landing on this impossibly small rock.
Dreary sort of day, rain in the night but overcast and grey, I will go for a walk later but at the moment am enjoying the fire I have lit and catching up on my sketching and knitting.

A beautiful sketch, Pen. You have caught the movement so well.
Freezing cold here and grey skies. We were in northern Cyprus for a while where I enjoyed the deep blue skies and the gum trees and pine trees like the ones at PW.

Love to you both,
Virginia

Pelicans are great to draw. They can steal your food though. We were eating fish and chips on the way to Adelaide - by the river, and one just took off with our potato cakes! We have plenty down here in Geelong too.

Nice sketch, Penny. Hope your day warms up: at 6:30 this morning it was snowing! Luckily it didn't last long, and then the sun made a visit.....
