Retreating

(From an afternoon spent on a much needed mini-retreat at Tower Hill Botanic Gardens. I drove down by myself and spent a few hours walking slowly through the greenhouses, taking photographs and then settling down a little nook to sketch for a while. It was warm, green, airy and perfectly quiet other than the water fountain and some faint classical music...and it was just what the doctor ordered.)

A little old lady saw me taking photographs and insisted on taking a photo of me, "for scale". :)
