Concetta Flore- Swallows on mudbank

Last sunday I was relaxing by the Lake of Bracciano,not very far from Rome (Italy) miserably low since last year's terrible drought. The emerged sand and silt banks have been colonized by vegetation and fauna, and swallows are benefiting from the abundance of bugs and worms. They land and start pecking the moist sand, and fly to the nest with worms dangling from their beaks. Lovely to sit by in the midst of their chirping acrobatics, and let my pencil follow them.

Journal - Oleander. I spotted these flowers on a long, warm, breezed-filled walk in downtown Southport. I remembered them from my time in South Carolina ... but didn't really notice the many petals of this sweet flowering shrub until I painted them.
