Visited a local part today. Parks been there for a good 15 to 20 years. First time going. Nice place. Lots of trees, a lake, two pavilions, public bathrooms and plenty of places to sit. A hand full of people milling about. A good place to spend about an hour or so before I go to work. Want to try my hand at plein air painting. Got a tri pod camera stand and scrap wood to throw together a travel easel. Also will make something to hold a painting panel onto the tri-pod. And something to carry the wet panel home in.
