These days my Wednesday mornings are spent hunched over flower beds, doing botanical drawings outdoors, as part of Kerri Weller's art class.
Last week we met at a different part of the Experimental Farm, in an area popular for taking wedding pictures.
We saw no wedding parties - just crews of volunteer gardeners as well as people taking pictures of flowers.
The area also has its share of wildlife: A roaming ground hog kept popping up amid the flowers, then disappearing. But by the time I pulled out my camera, he was gone.
Half way through the morning, we took a coffee break and discussed our sketches.
Then we grabbed our folding chairs and art bags, hats and sun screen, and headed out in search of a new flower to sketch.
After an hour in the sun, this shady patch of lily of the valley looked appealing.
It's always harder than it looks!
Drawing in a park - a peaceful new way to study and appreciate flowers!
