Leonotus leonurus




I don’t usually spend my evening hours in front of the television, but last night was an exception 💙.

I got to the restaurant 10 mins early, and my step-daughter was running 10 minutes late. But waiting is never a problem when you have a sketchbook in your bag.

This was the first time I’d seen a Say’s phoebe close to the ocean. It was behaving in its characteristic way, perching, glancing around, then speedily flitting about to catch insects before returning to the perch. Each foray took only a few seconds.

Happy birthday, Alli.


On a recent Draw with Me, we did a series of fast (1-2 min) small (business-card size) sketches. I did mine in watercolour; these were the three I liked best.
