Sea float scramble

Just a quickie to let you know I was there sketching the view with floats.

Oh, what treasures! Big smiles and lots of giggles. Sea floats cuddled and cradled in mittened hands. A fantastically fun morning!

A wonderful morning sketching at the Sea Float Scramble.  What a perfect place-based event.  Went to Kalakala to try sipping vinegar next and to visit with sketchers.  Both a delight. 

Sea Float Scramble

Yesterday was the Third Annual Seafloat Scramble.  Callahan's Firehouse created and donated 300 beautiful hand blown sea floats and had volunteers hide them "in plain view" at Langley's Seawall Park, as well as in a smaller park for the younger youngsters.  We had a half dozen intrepid sketchers capturing the fun of the morning, including two relative newbies from further up the island.  We Sketchers were allowed in amongst the nests and gently placed baubles whilst the public waited excitedly behind the lines for the 11 a.m. bell.  Then, a mad dash for the sea floats!  What a great time.  What great energy.  Thank you, Callahan, for your generosity.  Afterwards, we Sketchers cozied over fresh French pressed java at Kalakala, sharing sketching secrets.
