The Fernery Pukekura Park.

Today because the weather was so iffy we went back to The Fernery in Pukekura Park. It's a nice peaceful place to sit and sketch, and as Scott said:
 "I bet you haven’t drawn every flower there yet."

I decided to have another go at the fish. They've been giving me trouble!
Here is my sketch:

Amusement Park Rides

This week a bunch of us gathered to have a look at some amusement park rides that were set up on a patch of grass by the sea. Even though it was predicted to rain this weekend, it was very sunny and there were lots of people. While some of the others were drawing the rides, I thought that it was the people, especially the kids with ear to ear grins, that make something like this really happen.
