Ah-choo!

It is frustrating, when the weather has been so nice -- partly cloudy, partly sunny, upper 60s to low 70s -- for an entire week, and it has corresponded with VERY HIGH grass pollen alerts every single day.

I've been making forays anyway, and suffering from the consequences.  Yesterday I returned to the Magnuson Park garden for another sketch:

Today the pollen alert is down to "Moderate".  I do hope it continues to improve over the coming weekend and next week, as Tina and Nicole and I have lots of plans to get out and about hither and yon for sketching nearly every day.  Fingers crossed!
