i get by with a little help of the sun

February 23, 2011 CGR 5 comments
happy hump day! anyone else enjoyed yesterdays sunshine in the bay area! yesterday i snapped these photos as i was riding to the lake merritt japanese garden where one of my assignments was to sketch the it. it was a perfect day to spend time in a garden, being inspired by nature and thoughts, sketching is now becoming one of my favorite pass times. speaking of creative, i’ve noticed in the blogosphere that a lot of ladies out there have been writing about their sketch books. on my part, i have two, one for sketch assignments and one for inspirations. i find that they really help me to organize ideas. once i get those babies all spruced up i’ll be happy to share. any other bike ladies out there like to sketch too?
