Potteric Carr made me very happy for a whole morning. And some. In fact I'm still a bit happy now. It's a nature reserve. And is nearly on my doorstep. Well about 8ish miles away. But I'd never been. I was lured there by easter egg painting. Not for me. I at least pretended it was for my little daughter. It's the most beautiful, tranquil space. Yet it's at the side of both the M18 and the East Coast Mainline. I think that made it feel even more special, hidden, safe. We had a lovely time, Little Daughter and me. She took me round. Not her first time. Just mine. She whispered (in case we frightened the wildlife). We hid in the hides. Took photos. Sketched. Painted eggs. Had a lovely time. And now, as ever, my mind is buzzing with ideas.
this is lovely... and your drawings are great... I wish I could draw...hmmm maybe I should and learn as I go....

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place. And the sketch of the trees, who would think they actually look like that, but they do! Well, maybe those are common trees :o, don't have them here.... I don't think.
ReplyDeleteOh, my scared face doesn't look like it in this font...hmm. Well, that's what that is after the words "common trees."
ReplyDeletethank you for following! i found your post about cherry blossoms and if it is allowed to like things just because they are pretty!? and i think when it comes to everything about nature we are definitly allowed to love everything about it, just because it is so freakin beautiful!!! (...and in the cherry blossom question i am kind of biased..;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous post Kathryn!

Since you're local, I'm wondering if you've ever visited the RSPB reserve at Old Moor at Manvers? I much prefer it there.
