We have a lot of heavy rain here lately so when a sunny day dawned I wanted to take full advantage. I walked along the beach and back through the forest.
A freighter waits in the harbour just off Lighthouse Park.
A golden eye watching another dive.
Hooded Mergansers I think
Shell and driftwood catching a few rays
a few patches of frost remained in shady areas
you know I love shells
the light is low this time of year but the sun was catching a few leaves and some moss
lots of mushrooms this time of year
a couple more patches of light
a creek and some birds
a varied thrush
a Pileated Woodpecker excavating the side of a tree
and finally a beautiful reflection
refreshed now I am back in the studio and here is what I have been up to
a new watercolour of a small town in the Veneto region of Italy:
called "Asolo" it is 14" X 20"
Well that is all for today, thanks for dropping by and happy Whimsy Wednesday, sorry about missing last week, a senior moment perhaps,
Gillian
Lovely scenic views. And a beautiful collection of birds. I would love to see the Varied Thrush! Beautiful images, have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteOvercast skies have taken over Ontario too, I fear. Looks like you have found a little sunshine though.Your shell photos and frost photos are wonderful!

I loved all of these photos, Gillian. Just beautiful! You made me realize Black Jack and I are not the only ones seeking out spots of light around us so I put a link to your post in mine today. Wishing you lots more light as you go about your day.
