I hiked at the Rockefeller State Park Preserve today with the weighted backpack I plan on taking with me on my next Camino walk. I have about 6 weeks left before trying a new route to Santiago de Compostela. Since I was by myself training today, I had the luxury of stopping and making a sketch whenever the opportunity comes like this equestrian I saw near David's Loop. I understand they have the right of way so I moved over to one side of the path to let them through. Then I remember picking up my A6 size sketchbook from my cargo pocket and doing a sketch before she got too far ahead of me on the graded trail.
There's a clearing and a maintained dirt road overlooking a farmland. I think this area belongs to the Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture. I thought it would be a nice sketch souvenir of this walk.
The last sketch I did was inside a greenhouse that's open to the public, I saw the amaryllis flowers in peak bloom. It was so beautiful, I had to sketch it!
Sounds like a good place to train for the walk. I like your sketches...a bit of everything. I didn't realize you were going to do the walk again. Great!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm going again but I plan on doing more sketches on the trail (hopefully) this time. This was a good practice run to do both goals.
