Early Morning Sketching

Many nights I don't go to sleep till the next morning.  This sketch was worked through the wee hours again with a care-free approach.

These are from photos taken in 2008 when I took our large dog for a walk at a nearby park.  The park doesn't have a lot to offer but many people go there to picnic or to walk.  There's a very large oval concrete path that goes around the perimeter of the park. 

Along one side of this walking path are wood stumps left with bird houses sitting on them.

The most intriguing about the area are some of the trees with this one especially catching my eye.  I wonder if it's still standing today.  It was a dead tree and after several winters and large wind storms, it might not be there........especially with how it was leaning.
