Elizabeth Park Shade Garden

Todays offering. . . a sketch from the shade garden in Elizabeth Park, an artist's sanctuary on a sweltering June day.

Elizabeth Park is famous for the rose gardens where you can wander its paths savoring the views,  transported by the enchanting perfume of hundreds of roses.
