One Sketch 343) Marine Iguana

My blood runs cold
Even when I bask on
the banks of
frozen fire.
But I can still move
Torpedo sharp
Through the colder depths
Of the sea
Until, triumphant
I explode onto the rocks
To warm.

The prompt on Sketching Every Day today was reptile. Now, I'm not really keeping count, but I'm pretty sure I've already done two reptiles since I started one sketch a day, those being the Komodo dragon (my favourite reptile) and a crocodile. So, not wanting to repeat myself I picked this, my second favourite reptile, the Galapagos marine iguana.

I first saw marine iguanas on a David Attenborough documentary. The Galapagos islands are one of those places I will probably never visit, but I'd love to - I'm very fond of Giant Tortoises as well.

I think It's probably about time to start counting down in days now, and so here we go - 22 days to go.
