Goosanders
Gary manages a lady's football team and a couple of Sundays ago they were playing in Bethel in Snowdonia so I decided to tag along and go for a walk in Llanberis while the game was on. Llanberis is a lovely place overlooked by the Snowdonia mountains; it was a lovely sunny afternoon and I was delighted to spot a few goosanders on the lake swimming around with the rest of the ducks and eating bread from the people feeding the ducks there. I sat watching them for some time and luckily had the camera with me so took a few photos with the aim of doing some studies of them back at home. So here are a couple of the photos I took and the resulting study - once Gary found out they were there he wanted to go and take some pics himself - you can see his photos here

Ladies football? Now that is an image.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots Sharon, are that at PMP, cause they make my fingers itch. they have such wonderful colors and shapes. Loving your journal pages, got to take a hard look at latest post for the head shots, but these are well done. Am currently drooling over some of Gary's horses to give a try with my pastels. Glad to see you posting again. Best.
