Fun in the Sun at Golden Gardens

On Saturday Truman and I ventured forth with Tina and Ocean to Golden Gardens Park -- it was a sunny afternoon which we thoroughly enjoyed, although Truman was not too happy about being forced to walk (because his stroller cannot navigate the sandy areas).  I'm sure he's forgiven me!

A Great Blue Heron was fishing in the marsh.

A Belted Kingfisher was also busy flying around the marsh hunting up fish -- very difficult to get photos of -- after 100+ shots, I got this one!

There were lots of turtles out sunning in the marsh.  I did a quick sketch there.

We sat and sketched for a bit at the quieter end of the beach.

Of the many, many boats sailing past, I liked this one best:

More than one person had the bright idea to bring a hammock to the park:

And apparently tightrope walking is a big thing now -- there were several groups practicing:

Truman did a good job of patiently waiting while we drew stuff.

I ran out of room on the page when I sketched the main park building...oh well, so it goes!

 

Lovely outing!
