Great Crested Grebe without any waffle!

Less time this evening, as I had committee work that NEEDED to be done, but I was determined to pick up that pencil again. GC Grebe was still top of the list. Maybe a Redwing or Songthrush next! I have to say I am finding this much more enjoyable than my failed attempts at meditation in the past. With drawing you have to concentrate, but not like when you are working; it is much, much more theraputic! The difficulty is, with modern technology you can be tempted to tamper, and I did have a dark pencil line that needed to be removed.

I feel like a cake at the moment! Everyone has a portion of me! I'm snowed under at work; there's a lot to do on the membership (which I enjoy of course), My friend Molly, who I am trying to help and it's no fun being 88 years old, with no family so I can't complain can I?
With the need to de-stress; memories of having time on my hands (a long time ago!) and some inspirational words from a friend who unleashed a passion inside me, I decided to take time out and be spontaneous this evening. Out of practice with Staedtler 120-HB, a rubber and one of my GC Grebe shots for company... ! It has been nearly 20 years since I did anything like this...
