Two birds
Sketches from Wimbledon Common
I had a chance to sketch a bit yesterday, in the first part of the day when the sun was still shining and the rainy clouds were yet far away. Here's the view on the "Fox and Grapes" pub from the neighbouring park:
And this is a pond with ravens in the park itself:
Until tomorrow, old man!
There was an Old Man, on whose nose,
Most birds of the air could repose;
But they all flew away,
At the closing of day,
Which relieved that Old Man and his nose.
E.Lear, 1846
It's just not my station
There was a Young Lady of Sweden,
Who went by the slow train to Weedon;
When they cried, "Weedon Station!"
She made no observation,
But thought she should go back to Sweden.
E.Lear, 1846
Bitter ale to cheer you up!
There was an Old Man with an owl,
Who continued to bother and howl;
He sate on a rail,
And imbibed bitter ale,
Which refreshed that Old Man and his owl.
E.Lear, 1846
Let me fish quietly!
There was a Young Lady of Wales,
Who caught a large fish without scales;
When she lifted her hook,
She exclaimed, "Only look!"
That ecstatic Young Lady of Wales.
E.Lear, 1846
Annoying crows
There was an Old Man of Dundee,
Who frequented the top of a tree;
When disturbed by the crows,
He abruptly arose,
And exclaimed, "I'll return to Dundee."
E.Lear, 1846
IF - chicken
Restrained-range chicken.
A nose to be proud of
There was a Young Lady whose nose,
Was so long that it reached to her toes;
So she hired an Old Lady,
Whose conduct was steady,
To carry that wonderful nose.
E.Lear, 1846
Yound lady with bonnet
An old man with a beard
Of deers and men
Bushy Park was a colourful mixture of birds, deers and people with their dogs, - many freaked out because of the ice, which has probably formed during the night for the first time this Autumn. Swans had a particular trouble of getting out of the water through the ice and walking. I was sketching, Dina was taking pictures.
