and the 'thumbs up' sign - which, of course, I missed capturing, it was so unexpected ! A close up of the combine harvester as the driver kindly drove right past me to give me a shot ! How kind ! Anyway, here it is, processed in Topaz Impression 2. Hope you like this - it's just a bit of fun :o)
Thank you for your comments and faves - ALWAYS appreciated as you know. People are so kind. Have a wonderful tomorrow and the rest of today !
I thought for a moment that this Baltimore Oriole may have spotted his next meal, but he moved on shortly after this photo was taken without partaking of whatever it was that he was examining.

While packing the house for the future move I found this old sketch I made of my daughter probably 40 years ago

back in February before the whole pandemic thing started. A warm summer day traveling the northern beaches of Sydney sketching Ocean Pools
A sketch from memory - an attempt to help my grandson understand how to use pencil and water. I'm still learning.
Trying to imitate a new Flickr friend who is truly talented. He actually IS an artist and not an old lady who paints and edits her photos.
Colored Pencil sketch of this beauty.
Please check out this talented man's photostream! Doortje van Dijk www.flickr.com/photos/96790988@N06
My first and usual edit: www.flickr.com/photos/nancysmith133/45517504532/in/photos...
Second time around: Because Walter www.flickr.com/photos/145140862@N04 is posting all these wonderful shots and it's making me sad as I'm too old to go anymore I guess. He's got wonderful shots to see. I move some shots up occasionally so I can remember ...

For FlickrFriday #letters
Working on a pencil sketch effect. A combination of a JamesRitson pencil sketch macro for affinity with a tweaked Topaz Studio 2 Sketch Outline Look. The original colour image was blended back in. Then some more tweaking back in affinity.

Phoenix Lock, is situated at the Western end of the main stretch of the Derby Canal from Sandiacre to Derby, just before it entered into the River Derwent by St Mary's Bridge. The lock's purpose was to regulate the flow of water into the canal from the Derwent, and also permit vessels to negotiate any varience in water levels, if any.
Alongside (R/H side) is the beginning of Nottingham Road, with it's adjacent terrace of shops and houses (featured in my 'Bridge Inn' painting) in the distance is St Mary's Bridge, with it's balustrades and alcoves, it formed the only route across the River Derwent into Derby from the North and East, until recent times, replacing earlier structures and originally a ford. Just beyond is the Duke Street Foundries, including the renown Andrew Handyside works. To the left, is part of a mill complex, situated on a tract of land that was known as Canary Island, being formed by the completion of the canal's dual outlets onto the River Derwent.
This drawing captures a Trent Barge negotiating the lock, having just passed the Phoenix Street bridge. The canal was built to accommodate these wide beam craft, which advantaged its commercial viability. This river connection also permitted navigation to the upper reaches of the Derwent in the Derby area.
Period photographs used to assist the creation of this sketch.
No17 in the Derby Canal Series.

'Gandy's Wharf' was a grain/animal feed warehouse built in the late 1700's, during the early days of the Derby Canal. It was situated between the Cattle Market and Day's Locks, near the Siddals area of Derby. Its neighbour, the building by the Cattle Market Bridge, housed the well-known Derby firm of agricultural engineers and merchants, 'Tinkler & Hudson'. While the upper floor was occupied by Derby's solitary answer to Soho! The Windmill Club!! Above and beyond, can be seen several famous local landmarks. At the lower end of the roof, is the 'Crenelated' top of the Shot Tower, where molten lead was poured through sieves to form lead shot, musket balls etc. To the right, can be seen the tall chimneys of the Derby Power Station, flanking the River Derwent. Next to their R/H base, is the Lantern Tower of the Silk Mill [reputedly, the first modern factory ever built] now home to The Industrial Museum. On the left, the spire of St Aulkmunds (CofE) and the tower of Pugin's, St Mary's (RC) churches, which stood opposite each other on the historic Bridgegate. All but St Mary's and the Silk Mill, disappeared during the building of the Inner Ring Road. Historic photos have been referenced.
No 16 in the series.
Top Lock on the Little Eaton Branch, was the only one of four locks on the branch with an adjoining cottage, this one followed the house style with its three sided front, and the last lock before reaching the canal head and Coal Wharf. It was situated close to where the current Aldi store sits in the Meteor Center, on the outskirts of modern Derby. As can be seen, at this earlier time, it was largely rural. No trace remains today. Based on a very out of focus historic postcard.
This the 15th pencil study from the Derby Canal Series, captures the Eastern entranc, from the adjacent bank of the Erewash Canal. Just beyond the little accommodation bridge, lies Sandiacre Bottom Lock, the first encounted on the Derby system, and making Derby accessible to the Cromford (Arkwright Mills, etc) and Nottingham canals, plus the River Trent & Soar Navigations and the rest of the national network. It was built wide enough to accommodate a single Trent Barge or two Narrow Boats side by side through the locks. This also gave access to the seaports on the River Humber, and international markets. Thus being a vital transport link before the arrival of the railways. And a chief facilitator of Derby's growth as an industrial centre in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today the Erewash Canal is a quiet, but still navigable Waterway. The bridge still exists, but is blocked off, the lock chamber behind it is part excavated, but needs much work to fully restore, the rest of the route towards Derby, is a footpath. The entrance is still used by moored boats, and the Swans continue to patrol their territory. Historic & personal photographs have been used to create this picture
With the dried corn stalks around the lamp post, it's likely evident that this is an autumn shot. I’m not trying to rush the season, but this image does have a flag, appropriate for the upcoming U.S. Independence Day weekend, and I’m counting that porch rail fence for Fence Friday as well.
Seen in Joneborough, Tennessee, on a road trip last October, and processed in a pencil sketch style using Topaz Impression
Happy Fourth of July weekend to all of my U.S. Flickr friends, and HFF to all!

Sketch over brunch at the Museum of Contemporary Art - one of the best views of the harbour. I over cooked this sketch - looked much better with just the building - but there you go. Knowing when to stop !! I think I had too much time on my hands.
I know, I know ... another one of this beauty. This might be the last one I ever get to see and photograph ... and I got lots of great shots to work with .. so forgive me, I'm taking advantage!
This sketch captures the Derby Canal at Sandiacre. It is facing East towards its junction with the Erewash Canal (Sandiacre Junction) as seen from the Derby Canal's, Sandiacre Top Lock, visible in the middle distance is the Bottom Lock, and just beyond, the top of the accommodation bridge marking the entrance to the Derby Canal. On the right stands the Boat Inn, originally built as a farmhouse. At some point, as was the custom for many rural farms to be dual purpose, it became a watering hole for the passing boat crews and others using the canal. It managed to survive both World Wars intact, but sadly burnt down early on in the 1940's. Only its foundations remain.
Most of the surrounding surrounding buildings are still present. Though there is no evidence of a Toll/Lock cottage at the bottom lock, as known. There does look like something of that nature attached to Sandiacre Lock cottage on the adjacent Erewash Canal, which may have served both companies. If you visit today, the canal is a heavily tree lined footpath, and part of the bottom lock has been excavated prior to restoration. Modern housing encroaches where there were once fields.
As with other drawings in this series, it has been created with the aid of historic photographs.
