Living like a king

A family holiday in Portugal, and a stay at the fabulous Palace Hotel do Bussaco - once palace of the last King of Portugal - surrounded by ancient woodland. A quick and dirty sketch before a first rate dinner and bottle of Quinta da Pacheca.

Snake in the grass

I took two South African artists to see the the Petite Camargue Alsacienne. Whilst looking for frogs in one of the ponds, we noticed a predatory Grass Snake (Natrix natrix) warming up in the early morning sun.
