It was quite a warm sunny day reaching 86 (according to my car temp gauge) when we left around 1 p.m.
The nature center has two buildings with bones, skulls, stuffed animals from gators to the smallest of turtles. There were cases of moths and butterflies as well.
This center holds educational classes for school kids and while we were there, a bus load of youngsters were there for lunch, walking the trails, and going through the museum.
Outside are A-framed wired structures ...... one with a live turtle and not sure what other critters were there.
There are several trails you can walk, one of which takes you out a board walk to the lake. It was a gorgeous day!
This is a page from my large Stillman & Birn Beta journal where I worked a few illustrations. The left two were worked watercolor first with pen and ink last and those on the right were worked my normal way of ink first followed by watercolor.
I could probably fill a complete journal with all the things there that grabbed my attention :-) A place I plan to return to.

Nice collage of mini-sketches to represent your day. I never thought of doing the watercolor first and then the ink, so I will have to try it. Thanks for the idea!
Thank you, Annie! I do tend to prefer ink first as adding ink over top of the watercolor tends to jump out at me. Now when other people do it, I love it. Just not so much when I use that technique........lol
