Camels, Reindeer and plants, oh my.

Friday Sketchers visited another location to celebrate the holiday.  Swanson's was beautifully decorated for Christmas.

My first sketch was of a bare tree with glass bird feeders. I thought they looked like Christmas bulbs.



After all the chaos of the small children feeding them, the reindeer calmed down and took a rest.  It was a good chance to sketch them.



I settled in the warmth of the cafe to talk to Gretchen, visiting sketcher from Madison, WI.  While at the table I sketched the small koi in the pond next to my table.  In the other pond, there were some huge fish, one was about 2 feet long.



This was one of the better turn-outs.  We were 13 sketchers but Gretchen, unfortunately, had to leave early.  I forgot to even get a photo of her.  We used the class room, set up for Santa photos, to show our sketches and take our group photo!
