Barbara Knuckles Journal Reading
Transcript
Sarah suggested that I park at Central Ave. Beach and walk to Beverly Drive where the tree falls are in the Great Marsh. The place I most wanted to draw or paint. It was less than 1/4 mile from the parking lot to the marsh and I was overjoyed to be able to pull the wagon, bringing my lawn chair and drawing stuff as well as raincoat and plastic. After doing a lot of walking, making videos of a blue Heron, hunting with my phone and taking pictures, I settled at the edge of the first gravelly bridge to draw. Eventually it started sprinkling so I took a couple of photos to mark my place and covered everything with the plastic. It was very light, gentle rain, but was getting to be too much to draw. My ink was either not sticking or running, so I did some walking with the wagon, my rain jacket and hat and got some lovely photos of the marsh with a cloudy but interesting sky with some pinks near the horizon.

I saw a blue Heron, egrets, dark colored ducks, woodpeckers, and either a Beaver or a muskrat.
