| Band playing in the White House Balcony |
On Saturday May 11, we were lucky to go on White House Spring Garden Tour - tickets courtesy of our son. While waiting in line to get in, I sketched the Boy Scout Memorial (seen below) I realized later on our way back that the statue looks quite different up close in the front view with a Boy Scout in the midst ! I sketched the band playing in the balcony while listening to the music but could not complete the sketch as we needed to keep moving! -crowd management was necessary when lines of people were streaming in ! It was a gorgeous day to be outside. The beautiful immaculate grounds and colorful flower gardens, luscious vegetable patches were such a pleasure to walk thru! The Rose garden was in full bloom ! There were signs in front of many trees indicating which President or First lady had planted them. Some of the trees were still young but many were huge trees with wide circumference and 100+ years old!
