I had to go to the park while it was still warm. After all, when I went to the park last week, Peter the Kawasemi had come out to pose for me. I thought living things would be gone by December and had resigned myself to drawing the garden lamp.
But onto a branch near the lamp, a bright blue bird had come--Peter the Kawasemi! And a few minutes later, several mallards splashed down into the pond.
"Us living things--gone? Ha!" They must've been honking and singing as I hurriedly (and happily) scrawled away a rough outline to do a real drawing later. But it got dark much too fast, so there was time to do only a very general sketch...this.
