We met at the Pt Defiance Marina on a very foggy morning. It was unfortunate that the view was obscured.
Is there anything out there?
The numbers of sketchers shifted throughout the morning. At one point there were 9 sketchers. But at the throw down, there were only 4 of us left.
Even before the fog, I'd decided I was going to decamp over to the Japanese garden. I'd missed that sketch outing last month and wanted another chance at it. I'd sketched the shrine some years ago but am no longer happy with that sketch. Today the tree behind the shrine was a red as the Tori Gate!
"Inspired by Japanese architecture when it was built in 1914, the Pagoda and its surrounding gardens are a signature of Point Defiance Park. Serene pools, a waterfall, a picturesque footbridge, cherry trees, azaleas and rhododendrons surround the Pagoda on its perch above Puget Sound." (from the website)
"Surrounded by a Japanese garden featuring pools, a waterfall, a footbridge, sakura cherry trees, and an authentic Shinto shrine and Tori Gate presented by Tacoma’s Sister City in Kitakyushu Japan, the Pagoda serves as a venue for garden shows, classes and community celebrations."
