Sketch Walk in the University of Guelph grounds

Today I decided, because of the heat, to get an early start and stay 'local' instead of going on an afternoon sketching trip to New Hamburg with my 'Sketchy Friends'.
So I wandered around the U of G for a while before the heat drove me back to the air conditioned comfort.
Yes I'm a wuss....

 

 My first stop ( I got out of the car pulled out my chair and sat down) was the "Portal" a rebuilt section of the original doorway that became the University..

Second stop in the shade .. Mills Hall 

Last stop, on the way back to the car, this old tree caught my attention

No not the poisonous plant from the river bank the 'tastes good as tea' tree...
I picked up some fallen pieces during our Shinrin Yoku walk yesterday, with the intention of making tea.
Some made it to the pot 
Some made it to the drawing table..
