What a lovely day it was in Stanley Park with a group of artists, known from Meetup. It is a good time to pick up my drawing skills and an opportunity to meet local artists. We gathered at 9 am at Terminal of No.19, then split up into two groups. The group I joined headed towards Beaver Lake, where it was nearly dried up in the summer. The leader of our group, a naturalist of Stanley Park, interpreted how human’s living habits interrelate with ecological. I was fascinated by the topic of self defense against wild animal attacks. We should certainly react differently when encountering different animals; for example, we can play dead when coming across a bear but scare away a coyote by shrieking.
All in all, I had a great time talking with people from various fields and picking up plein-air sketching. I may do the same thing with my art students one day~
