The last spread from my Urban Sketching Symposium excursion to Chicago and Indiana on Amtrak's California Zephyr. I sewed my name badge into my sketchbook, then used it to stash a couple pieces of ephemera for safe keeping.

Met up with @uskchicago at @Fermilab today. #urbansketchers #usk #uskchicago #chiarchitecture #stillmanandbirn #sketchbook #firmilab #urbansketch #usk #architecture #arqsketch #arch_more #archisketcher #architectural #arquitetapage #interiorarchitecture #rendering #sketch #chicago #chiarchitecture #chitecture #igerschicago #mychicagopix (at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory)

This Sunday’s Urban Sketchers Chicago (@uskchicago ) virtual sketch event was entitled “Other Hobbies,” and we were meant to sketch and share some of the other things we like to do (besides sketching). /// Believe it or not, one if my hobbies is mowing the lawn with a retro, rotary-blade mower. /// It’s quiet, it’s eco-friendly, and it always gives me a great workout. /// Who knows—maybe one of these days I’ll break down and get a gas or electric mower. /// For the time being, though, I’m happy to stick with my trusty rotary mower from Scott’s (@scottslawn ). /// @staedtler pigment liner 0.3 in my pocket @moleskine . ///// #uskathome #uskchicago #urbansketching #urbansketchers #lawnmower #rotarymower #scottslawncare #moleskinemoments #mowingthelawn #mowingthelawnonsunday (at Valparaiso, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA353_yn0lI/?igshid=eqkq2b8xunhq

My wife is an avid gardener, and my son and I both do our best to support her in this. /// Sometimes this means visiting plant and flower sales or nurseries and greenhouses, where we usually end up with some time to sit (and sketch) while my wife makes here selections. /// @staedtler pigment liner 0.3 in my pocket @moleskine . ///// #urbansketching #uskchicago #urbansketchers #gardening #moleskinemoments (at Woldhuis Farms Sunrise Greenhouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA1bn9Ln4sF/?igshid=87tjbizfmp37
