Pond Life pages 5 and 6. The slender legs in the background right are the legs of the Great Blue Heron and the heron was my connecting design element throughout all 6 pages of the 3 spread article. The lily pads also as we see the root system here and previously the stems and underside of pads on pages 3 and 4 and the the top of the pad in spread one, pages 1 and 2!
