Pliosaur swims in an eternal sea 

Pterodactyls soar above our heads in silent flight

These last few weeks we have been discussing sketching indoors ( after taking a leaf from Larry's blog posts on the subject.. Larry Marshall's Blog )
As much as I love winter, sitting in one spot with frozen fingers and frozen ink doesn't cut it. So instead of putting the sketch books aside we began looking for 'warmer venues'. So a trip to the ROM was hatched and yesterday this old fossil sat amongst many more old fossils in the bones room ;-)
The place was packed with kids and frustrated adults the noise was at times overwhelming but the scratching of pencil on paper seems to drown all that out.
A great day out with some new knowledge acquired too boot.
It doesn't get any better than that ..
