Whitaker Ponds Nature Park

This weekend, we went to Whitaker Ponds Nature Park, a park we had never visited. I had seen it on another blog, Life is Good, and was curious about it. Since it was a gorgeous fall day, it seemed like a perfect time to go. We saw only a few people, but there were lots of ducks and we heard many songbirds.

The first pond we came to had a log in it....


that looked surprisingly like a shark fin...



Not fearing sharks, but eager to sit in the sun, I sketched from an observation dock. One loose sketch....



and one with more ink....


Here are a couple more views from my camera.  It might be worth a trip back when the colors are even brighter. 



I wish I had a canoe.

I love that place. Glad you found it. Love the pictures and the drawings.

That first mural in on N Albina near N Alberta - across from a coffee shop whose name I forget.

Looks like a great place to explore--we'll have to head over there soon. I like your sketches!
