EVENING AT THE LAKE KATHERINE

We started with the obligatory pictures. A `classic´at the 'Birds in Art' 

 The artists.

 Detail.

The `rookies´.

 The sculptors.

The foreigners.

The partners.

Boat trip on the lake.

   

We were fortunate to see loons and a bald eagle. 

Clarence P. Cameron  

 Art Winslow told us something about two games: Croquet and Shuffleboard.

 Artists, their partners  and workers of the museum playing croquet.

    

 Clarence P. Cameron 

 

I played a game of shuffleboard. Alice W. Smith gave me her place on the track. Art Winslow played with Jane Weinke against Walter T. Matia and me. Thanks to Walter's skill, beginner's luck on my part and the fact that Art did not play as well as he can ... Walter and I won.

The fun goes on.  Barry van Dusen delighted us with his fieldnotes, a luxury.

Before finishing the day we enjoyed a succulent American barbecue.

All in all a fantastic experience that we would like to repeat.

PS. Sorry for the delay in posting this ... the beginning of the course has not allowed me to do it before
