Not the end of the grove



          While  walking through where we had hundreds of times in 35 years I found this scene where there had been a second growth hedge and locust wood. There are now about 20 trees left in this patch of wood now so far.  Used to be King Radio in the '80's when we would play hedge apple bowling in the parking lot.                   
          I could not resist the urge to sketch the crane, the building frame and the tree together.  The construction crew was gone for the weekend.  They were not getting any overtime, as the weather has allowed them to get well ahead of schedule this winter. The building is for the school district that has leased the property.  It has been an education for this guy watching all the construction going on here in our "neck of the woods" this last year. 
          Done with pencil and extra fine Sharpie over the top, in a 9"  x 12" Strathmore sketch pad that is easy to carry on a walk where you do not know what you will be getting into for sure.
