i've been sitting here waiting for you to stop and spend a minute and listen to some stories about the thunderbirds (a mated pair have spent the spring building a set just outside my window, and they've been incubating a clutch of eggs - any day now and there will be a family of juveniles!). some buddies managed to get a pic with a fledgling juvenile on an unsuccessful first flight from the set. that bravado evaporated pretty quickly when the little champ came to!
anyway, after you last stopped in, i've had quite some time to myself. too much? no, it's given me wonderful opportunity to do some painting from memory! and in doing so recalled this relaxing afternoon on a childhood trip to the Welsh seaside town of Caerphilly...
that was actually the last of the family holidays, as i remember...
