Another unknown bird, next sketch is the same one in flight. They always seem to fly away! But wait, there is a pelican I have that is flying towards me! (next batch.)
Sea Bird in Flight

Sea Bird – Which one?
A Crane or a Shag or a Cormorant? If you know let me know!
One of the many we watched in Narrabeen.

Horses – sketching & website
I am still sketching! But slowly.
Right now working on Otahuna Horse Riding website. Pleased to have got it up & running and now there is more content to get on.
Last weekend spent some time with the horses & riders and have sketches coming!
Trumpetvine Travel Sketchblog – have a look!
A lovely sketchblog I have just added to my links. I have added it because I like the sketches and also because I like the travel sketchblog notion. My Thousand Sketches include some of that & also will lead to my sketchblog later in the year.
I like the line & wash in Martha’s blog, all in real media! I can learn a lot from that, as I “emulate” the medium.
& thanks for your comment Martha on my last post.
George Street
Back to the day in Sydney. A great day, we went back to Manley in our rental car, caught the Manley Ferry to Sydney and went to the Archibald Prize exhibition.
Then walked the streets with a few minor errands, like walking up George street to Dymocks to look for a bird book, this is from a photo of some people in the crowds.
One day in the city was enough.

Tent, Tablet PC, and a project!
It is not really that comfortable or that easy to sketch on a Tablet while camping. But I did a bit! What I did have is power to the site, wireless access and shade so I could see the screen (almost adequately).
However I need a desk! One of the hardest things to find on the go is a good desk.
I did find a nice little gazebo with a good table in it, but no power, and too bright.

Pelican

Pelican
Our week in Australia was a really interesting bird watching week. Amy was quite focussed on it, and I want to sketch everyone I saw. Here are the first two, beautiful big fat pelicans that hung out by our swimming spot. These birds are the icon for this area. I don’t think I saw many, if any of these on the South coast where I grew up.
