Marovo Lagoon, Solomon Islands

I went to Solomon Islands a couple of weeks back and got to swim in the ocean each day.
I had a little underwater camera with me which I couldn’t get it working for the first few days.
There was so much life in the Marovo Lagoon – I got to swim with a manta ray, saw a large turtle, clams, corals, little sharks and all the fishies.
Nemos!

Squish at life drawing

My dear friend organises these life drawing classes that are really quite special. The space it is held in is covered in drawings. The people who come are lovely. I went recently and there was a dog there who slept most of the time, I ended up drawing him.

There was something quite wonderful with everyone silently sketching and a happy dog snoring.
