A magical afternoon

I don't think I've stopped smiling since yesterday afternoon - a quick trip to the local nature reserve and we saw a kingfisher. Not only saw one, but it perched in front of us long enough to get some photos. A simple pleasure maybe but for me it was very special. Then a heron flew in too! I expect you have guessed that I'm still not drawing but I hope you like these photos. The Beautiful Demoiselle visited my garden this morning and Tom the alpaca was at the gardens I visited last week, oh and what I think is a meadow pipit was on my walk this morning at Kings Hat. It obligingly stayed still just long enough for me to get a shot, though from a long way off.

I didn't feel much like art last week and this week will be busy but I will try and decide what my next project will be and make a start. At least my girls got a decent run at the weekend, they were both delighted to find their favourite mud hole nearly full to the brim. They had a good wallow! I'm also pleased to say that Disney's drugs seem to be working well, I'm just waiting for the results of Friday's blood test to confirm that the dose is correct.
