I decided to go along with Gene to Smithville, just to "do" something. I am so not painting. The trail Gene wanted to ride starts at Riverbend Park. As we drove up about 12:00 noon there was a small carnival and some booths. The food booths were open and there were a few people around. Gene unloaded and took off.
I walked over to see what was up. It is Jamboree in Smithville, Texas. It is sort of a fair with the food, carnival, livestock show, softball tournaments, horseshoe tournaments, live music and dancing. There were not many folks around yet. School wasn't out so just a few people catching some lunch. The carnival was not open. As we left about 3:30 p.m. the carnival workers were putting out the prizes and starting "their engines". So good timing on our part.
While Gene was getting in his 21 mile ride, I had lunch and sketched in my sketchbook Sue gave me. It has paper that will accept a bit of water. I used a Micron 05 pen and my little watercolor kit.
I was able to use some of the sketches for Scavenger Hunt 355. You can click on the photos to make them larger.

I like your colorful sketches. You should do them more often - maybe one of that ferris wheel. I can ride roller coasters all day long, but I hate riding on a ferris wheel - scares me silly.
Bag Blog, I guess I save my color for painting. It was much too windy for that! I certainly agree on ferris wheels. Yucky.
Love the watercolor sketches!
And, the wildflowers. Naturally. :-)
Joanna, missed this in your comments the other day. I know you like the watercolors. I should practice more with them. And the wildflowers make us smile for sure. Hugs.
