More sketches, the first is of the gates into the jardin de ecology, we sat for quite a while while I recovered from a lot of walking and I quite liked these gates into a very wilderness place that was all locked up.We finally made it to a coffee shop in a back street after walking for about 6 to 7 hours and I took the opportunity to sketch a bit of the back street we were on and the massive door.
I took lots of photos of doors, there are some fascinating different styles and these I will do later from the photos, well i hope I have time to do them.
Hay fever has struck now I am home, no wonder I dont do as much gardening as I would like, I feel terrible. I would happily live in autumn for ever.
It has also got remarkably hot.
Thank you to every one who have said such nice things about my pretty ratty sketches, but they do actually make me remember things more than the photos and I had fun doing them when I could.
Of course now I cant remember which haiku I have put up so you may have to suffer from some repeats.
this one is by Takarai Kikaku
On the face of the sea
a swallow
has erased a rainbow.

Walking, sipping coffee and sketching in Paris ...... wow, that sounds wonderful! These sketches really appeal to me because it feels as though I've seen these doors and gates into locked gardens before.
Wonderful haiku!
Hope the weather is kinder to you.
Penny, that is what is so much fun about sketching and also what is so much fun about seeing your sketches-- they not only bring back those moments when you sketched them, but they pick us up and put us right into the picture and make us feel that we had been there with you-- just as ArtPropelled says.
