How gorgeous are these 'Japanese Anemones' flowers that caught my eye when out walking today.
Looking splendid in the sunshine, the flowers are a stunning blend of pastel pink leaves with soft white edges that surround a bright lime green centre with a ring of short, bright yellow stamen.
Walking around the neighbourhood under the shade of some trees near the footpath, I completely forgot it was swooping season until my presence was loudly communicated to all and sundry ... which set off a chain warble.
No swoops but I was watched. Maybe they also hang out in my garden and recognised me. 🤣 Lovely afternoon light in the background.
Very swift sketch of the clock tower, Gare de Lyon.
Sketches like this aren't really intended for other people, but I share to encourage others: you don't need to share only the work you are proudest of. That's a moving target anyway, as you develop. Just get out and have a go!
Trust me, almost no one will comment or interfere, and of those that do, most will admire your courage! #OutAndAbout#Paris#UrbanSketching
Covid negative today. Which is nice. First day I'd been outside for a week. Strangely that time seemed to pass without me getting too stressed. #Covid#Negative#OutAndAbout
