Distant Travels

We are making our way steadily along the coastline towards Tingamel.

I’ve encountered some interesting and unusual plants growing along the way, and one in particular has caught my attention.

I have noticed that one plant grows in all colours; it has a long stalk onto which many flowers grow outwards from it, and even more amazing is how the flowers look like Tomepicker!  Imagine having a whole plant full of dragon heads!!

Upon close inspection of this plant in order to draw it, I have learnt that if I squeeze the flowers slightly they open up, making it look like they are talking! I’ve called these “Speaking Dragon Plants” because of this.

Tomepicker called out whilst soaring above me earlier today, and alerted my attention to a distant group of large boats on the open Estensea. They were very unusual, and not the sort that I had seen before when I was in Merquay.

I must visit there again, especially the Dancing Dolphin, and ask the fishermen what they think they might be.
