However, it was still a bit chilly, especially after our hot summer. There was quite a breeze, too, so I needed to clip my sketchbook pages down.
I sketched the lookout tower from the hill above the playground. I was tempted by the slides but resisted. It is the enclosed slide that is in the foreground of this sketch.
Then I walked up the hill to sketch the cairn (definition: a mound of rough stones built as a memorial or landmark, typically on a hilltop or skyline.") I also knew them in North Yorkshire and the Lake District of England as directional indicators.
The group of six brave sketchers:
Kate (me), Ben (visiting from Hong Kong Urban Sketchers), Gwen, PeggyH, Tina, Robin
Hurrah for you! While you were out there sketching I was in Kirkland, teaching the first of my fall classes. I was torn. Although I love my students, I really missed being out there sketching with you all. I'll catch up with you sometimes on the weekends.
