Burst

Burst is the Illustration Friday theme this week. I had drawn the background and was going to put dragonflies as the burst of colour. Then on Saturday I saw a Kingfisher at the harbour - a sudden burst of blue and there he was - magical. I've only seen him once before - last year - so he's very elusive.

Kingfishers are neat. They come in so many colors! Yours is a beauty and I love the background pattern! Subtle but very detailed. Lovely!
