Last Minute Sketches

Today is the last day of Hunt 219.  Wow, time has been flying by.  I sketched out on the porch while I had my coffee, so put in about an hour, total.  I used a Faber-Castell Pitt pen.  They act a little like a Sharpie at this "F" size.  They are freehand, as you can see, and in my regular "reflexions" sketchbook. 

   
#1, blowing in the wind, some wind chimes on the porch.
#2, view outside, back yard through screen.
#3, bird, some at the feeder.  Actually this is a cheat as I didn't see any birds, could only hear them.  Ah, well.  The feeder and tree were there.  :)
#4, green and growing.  The trees are really popped out.  You can tell it is dry though.  We need rain!!!
Happy Easter, all!

Hey! From the 2nd sketch...did another tree come down?

Hi, Joanna. No that is just a big branch that goes across, it should go off the page. :) We have been watering the trees around the house, so that should help. It is just too dry!
