Here is my last sketch from our trip to Baguio. On our last day we visited a place called “Tam Awan Village”. There wasn’t a lot there but we did have a nice walk up the hillside and then sat at a viewpoint on the way back where I sketched this. In the foreground on a bamboo pole is a figure made from plastic drinks bottles – it was actually pretty grubby looking but I left it white.

In the afternoon of our third day in Baguio we first visited the “strawberry fields” – basically a strawberry growing area in the Municipality of La Trinidad and then after that visited Mt. Kalugong nearby. During non-pandemic times there are some nice walks/treks in the area, but at the moment all you can do it take a short walk up the hill to a coffee shop. No complaints of course – we enjoyed nice coffee, great views, a lovely atmosphere (with a massive collection of coffee making stuff) and copious amounts of cake!

On the third day of our trip to Baguio we started off by visiting Mount Costa…not really a mountain but rather more like gardens with a few sculptures here and there. It might be difficult to make out this sketch but it’s meant to be two metal herons in a pond – the trees and the bench are reflections. It’s not really a good thing when you have to explain what a sketch is meant to be of though!

Here is another sketch from our first day in Baguio. It was so nice to be somewhere else for a change…even though I was sketching the same kind of thing that I often do!
