Urban Sketchers Tacoma had a beautiful day for sketching in Soos Creek Botanical Garden yesterday. We had a little less time than usual due to ending early so some of us could attend the talk about crows held in the pavilion.
I also had more of a wander around and discovered the dragon sculpture I’ve never seen before! This garden is not far from where I live so I’ve visited at least a couple times a year for many years. I chose to do a montage on a double page.

On both sides of the garden are small holdings with horses. This beautiful (Frisian?) mare had a foal!
