So, I gave up and did another quick little sketch. These fast drawings are fun for me. I don't have much time to think and they often turn out quite expressive.
Well, tomorrow we are going to the Okefenokee Swamp to canoe and hopefully see some alligators. I would also really like to see some snakes, which last time we didn't at all. We'll be camping there as well, but a little outside and in an alligator-free zone. I've been nervous about it for the past few days, but today I feel excitement and I think I'm just going to go with that. Last time we went, we had a wonderful time and I expect the same for this trip. Plus, we get to share it with good friends!!
I'll be sure to take lots of photos and share them with you when we get back.
In the meantime, I've really missed checking in with you and am looking forward to doing so again very soon!! Wishing you a great few days!!!
have a great trip Silke... we went there when I was little... very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're staying in the gator-free zone.....don't want you to become a Silke-Snack for some big lumbering reptilian beast!
ReplyDeleteHave a good time~~I am sure it will be beautiful and you'll enjoy all the things to see/photograph once there!
XXOO~~♥
