When I lived in Vermont, I'd pass this sunflower field when I drove my favorite back roads to Lake Champlain. Last month when I was visiting, I finally stopped to take a photograph, but I like my little watercolor sketch better, so I've posted that instead...
Innisfree Gardens.
While in New York, my friend Lynn suggested a trip to Innisfree Gardens in Millbrook. I thought I could do a watercolor sketch and Lynn thought she'd work on her story. Turns out the gates were closed the day we tried to go, and as that was Lynn's only free day, she made me promise I'd go by myself. It was beautiful! Here are a few more images (the lily pads inspired my watercolor sketch in my previous post).
