pipers





Playing with wacom tablet.
Pleasant day off. I did not get much accomplished but sometimes you just need to doodle the day away.
These are the shore birds we call pipers. I do not know if that is actually what they are. They live on the shore's edge and dart in and out of the surf scouring the sand for food. They never get caught in the waves and their habit is to stay in a large group. I think they are so much fun to watch.

I love that image: "doodle the day away." You are right. Sometimes we need to do that.

I like watching them too when I head to the beach. It's so much more interesting than watching the squirrels around my house.

I think those are sand pipers. I have/had a pattern for them, never quite got a round to piecing it.
