This month is the 10th Anniversary of the first sketch outing held by Urban Sketchers Tacoma. We had the celebration today, complete with cake.
It was a beautiful Solstice morning at Lakewold Garden. There is so much to sketch there. I wanted to go back to what I think is a bee habitat, which is also surrounded by foxglove (digitalis on the leaf). There was a pleasant breeze and many bird songs.
Many sketchers came. Some of the originals and one brand new one (welcome Nellie)! A couple had left by the time we took the photo.
Frances told the story of how we hatched the group while sketching on a trash can at Pike Market in Seattle. The large bin made a convenient table that fit both our sketchbooks. She had been at the very first Urban Sketchers Seattle outing. But lamented the distance from her home in Puyallup and thought it would be good to start a group in Pierce County, centered around Tacoma. I said I'd help, especially with the tech part of it.

We shared a BYO lunch in the shade and then had cake!
A few more photos are here.
