Birks Mere revisited again

Here I am again at my favourite garden. It feels good to have made the effort to come. I sketch away as the day unfolds. Brought the wrong camera am afraid so no artsy shots! Took a couple with my phone. The light is glorious at dawn and managed to capture a cloud over the far mountains. Then motifs suggest themselves throughout the day. I always love drawing the old oak and leaves with lake behind. There was a little proud robin proclaiming his presence on the lawn. A red hot air balloon took off over the lake very early. I dozed and pruned and surveyed all. This must be paradise. Will keep coming back when I am able. Rejuvenating as it was through lockdown. It was our life-line then…
