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.
