when i went back to oakledge park today it was quite evident that spring had sprung. there was no evidence of snow and the recent rain had made everything very green. there were several new buds emerging and it was a really nice day out.
there were lots of people around picnicking and relaxing on the nice day. however, it was also very obvious that people had been there the night before as there were a ton of campfires around as well as beer cans and trash.
there are not many animals to be seen here as it is a fairly public place. i did see a good amount of flies that i had not seen in the past though. i could hear birds chirping but i could not see them or identify them. while i had no evidence, robins are a common bird so i included them in my drawing as a substitute. squirrels are also common and i did see a few running around in the trees. as always, i saw lots of dogs as this is a popular spot to walk your dog. however, i forgot to include the arrow between dogs and humans! the ferns were starting to come up so i included those as well.
