My Photograph of a White Heron and a Black Duck at Descanso Gardens...

I took this photograph of a white heron and a black duck at Descanso Gardens a while back.  I was at the bird watching station before they made the path around the pond.  This was taken from pretty far back, I've cropped the image so that the birds are more visible.  The black duck is a regular there, the heron I've seen much more rarely.  I hope that you will enjoy this photo!

Happy Mother's Day! Mermaid Angel Fairy Big Eye Gothic Sketch Art + Duck & Ducklings...

I took this photograph when I was visiting Huntington Gardens.  This momma duck was leading her ducklings through the lily pads.  I wonder if I'd ever have the patience to turn it into a painting, so many little ducklings and so many lily pads...  Happy Mother's Day from me to you!  I hope that you will enjoy this photo!

Here is a sketch of a gothic big eye maiden who would like to wish you a happy Mother's Day. I think she would like to be a mermaid; but it's also possible she may be an angel, fairy, or possibly a goddess.  I'm not sure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her...  

I am also participating in Sunday Sketches.  To view more Sunday Sketches, please visit:

My Photograph of a Mallard Duck Couple at Descanso Gardens ...

I took this photograph at Descanso Gardens at the pond near the front some time ago.  These two mallard ducks didn't stray too far from one another while I was watching.  The male usually followed the female pretty closely, I thought they were so sweet together.  I hope that you will enjoy this photo!
