Sketching with a friend

I went to sketch with a friend this week. It was pretty warm, the squirrels were running around us, the shade left our bench pretty quickly. But we had a good time - exchanging some news on the kids and parents, dismaying at the current state of the world, discussing latest set of favorite sketching tools and some plans. I picked up a branch of interesting-looking seed pods on the way home. These oaks are asking to be sketched again!
