Chapman swifts

Went up to watch the swifts again. 

And this time, I watched the swifts instead of the people.

Tanner Springs Park

I started out with a view of the pond and causeway.  There were fish aplenty bouncing around under the surface, and one mallard coasting along on top.  And plenty of kids coming along trying to spot both.


Then a quick sketch of Madeleine, who had brought her lunch and ended up sketching the mallard, who stuck around looking for crumbs.


Then another quick sketch of a few of the buildings overlooking the park.



Class

On emergency preparedness.  All the things that I ought to be doing.

Swift-watching

Or rather, watching people who are watching swifts.
