So, we typically spend 1.5 hours for sketching time and half an hour to share what we manage to do. All sketches are in different stages of completion.
A shout out to our photographers Danita and Peggy. Here they are taking a photo of each other at the same time.

On a sunny day, Danita stepped on this very large Bull Snake aka Gopher Snake. She first thought, that it was a squishy stick! But then looked down and freaked out! Snake is ok (so is Danita). She’s going to add this story to the page so that her grandkiddos can read about it.
