A few weeks ago, Venetia introduced me to Eco Parque, which used to be the Buenos Aires City Zoo but is now, as the name suggests, a park devoted to flora and fauna in an ecologically sound way. Today we went back. We started with lunch at the cafe inside the park and then walked around a bit. Venetia had another appointment, so after a bit she left and I settled in to sketch.

Last week I bought a lightweight portable camping chair, and I love it! It lets me sit wherever I see something I want to sketch, and I’m going to make good use of it.

It’s a fun place, as some of the animals roam free — despite their aloof beauty, peacocks are just as shameless as other birds when trying to get crumbs!

Here are a few shots of the day.
