5 minute sketches

I set a timer for 5 minutes and quickly sketched from a picture I took yesterday at Herman Park...K was buying a bottle of water...it was so HOT!

This is one of many bust that are in the Garden Center...I hope to go back and sketch from life another day. It has been awhile since I sketched...not a good thing to get out of the habit of sketching daily.

herman park

K and I went to Herman Park today...this is K using my good camera. Below are just a few pictures from our outing today. We took over 200 pictures between the 2 of us.

Monument looking thru the key hole of a Sam Houston statue.

A man napping in the gardens.

A statue in Houston Garden Center.

Bridge in the Japanese Gardens.

Ducks in the Monument pond.

baby

This is my great nephew...his name is Carson...he was born May 6th. I took this picture Mother's Day...my Mom was holding him. He's such a sweet baby!

furry friend

I decided to post a picture of one of our furry friends that live in our trees...after that ugly picture of the snake yesterday.

look what crossed my path this morning!

I was watering plants this morning and came across this ugly thing! I HATE snakes!!!! Luckily, it's dead...something ate it's head off. I have no idea what kind of snake it is, but I'm hoping something else eats it because I'm not going anywhere near it!!!!

happy mother's day!

K took this picture of Buckles...he's such a cutie!

chocolate roses

I finished this pair of socks last night...the color of the yarn is chocolate roses and is a sports weight...the pattern is southwestern and I used size 2 (3mm) needles. These socks will be great for winter with my clogs.
