Silly Shimmery Sketching

"Shimmery" was on the list for Scavenger Hunt 638.


I thought of sketching the shimmering water on our lakes.  Today is cloudy and gloomy and of course warm.  I did the sketch with the gray cloudy skies.  It is in the big book done with a Micron 02 and colored pencils.

The second item for today was "silly".  I found this little stuffed penguin.  It is soft and silly/cute.  Evidently I got it in a McDonald's Happy Meal.  Hmmm.  Same tools on the bottom half of the page. 


Number 2, shimmery  Number 3, silly


We went to breakfast this morning at Maxine's in downtown historic Bastrop. 
Their breakfasts are very popular and in the "old days" a few short months ago, there would be a long line outside.  Gene had the pecan praline griddle cake and I had migas.  Yum..  They are cut to 50% capacity today and we did not have to wait.  I sure hope that we don't lose our local restaurants with this virus.  Crazy!


Another restaurant we frequent is 602 Brew Pub on Main, just a couple of doors down from Maxine's. They have menu and more info on facebook.  
We have patronized Raymond Keyrouz' restaurants since we moved to Bastrop.  The best crawfish chowder anywhere.
I like the sign on the front.

A view down the street, showing the clouds and construction.

Correction on my post from yesterday.  Canada Day is July 1.  EP let me know.  Ha.

Joan, thank you. I didn't remember the penguin. I found it on the shelf the other day. Weird. We do have some good local restaurants, hope they make it.

I don't know if it has been cloudy or if it is the Saharan dust - ha! I like the sign - those may be my kind of shots.

Bag Blog, I know it's my kind of shots! Although, Gene is much more afraid of needles than I am.
