Garden sketch

This is from yesterday, when I went over to my neighbors' home to draw part of their lovely back yard, which has a patio, small lawn, a few trees, a stand of bamboo, lots of shrubs, several paths, a small pond, and this rock garden with wooden bridge:

Today I did some sketching at Meadowbrook Pond Park but was not happy with how things turned out -- the first sketch was okay, but kind of boring.  The second one I tried was far too ambitious with way too many elements.  I'm planning to return tomorrow to try again -- stay tuned.
