Butterflies

 We visited a large glass conservatory filled with exotic trees, humid air, and hundreds of butterflies. We walked along the paths, referencing our handouts to identify the butterflies, wielding our camera and sketchbooks. It was a good way to spend the afternoon.

One Year Ago

My journal entry for November 20, 2011 reads, "Today I went to the top of the Eiffel Tower and saw the Mona Lisa."

Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

A Beautiful Fall Day and Cream Tea

 

Today was absolutely gorgeous. Cool fall day, utterly clear blue sky, warm sunshine, and the beautiful grounds of Petworth house to see. After walking through Petworth house, which felt like a miny art museum, we walked through the grounds and I was able to sketch the house. And…afterwards we went to a tea shop! It was a little place with little chairs and tables and we had a cream tea, which is tea and scones with clotted cream and jam. It was delicious. They served you with tea cups that weren't matching, very cute! Even driving home down narrow country lanes with the autumn sun filtering through the leaves was a treat.

Here are pictures of todays adventure...
