Parking
in the Green Lake neighborhood is scarce and competitive, especially on sunny
days when people enjoy walking around the lake. When I got back to my car after
a walk, the space in front of me was empty, so I had a clear view all the way
down to the next block. I knew that space would not remain empty for long, so I
pulled out my Field Notes notebook (I didn’t have my favorite red one; this
is one I carry just for note-taking in my tiny fitness-walking bag) to
see if I could capture the view before a car pulled in and blocked it. Five
minutes later, a car pulled in – but not before I barely finished. Score! (I
guess I’m a little competitive, too).
(If
you’re wondering why I couldn’t just get out of the car to sketch on such a
sunny day, it’s because the temperature was in the low 40s. I’m a wimp once it dips
below 50.)
Tina, I can easily understand why you stayed in the car to sketch. I do it too. Good that you were prepared and could sketch quickly before someone blocked your view. Nice!
