Last week my friend, Jon (http://pellinorepress.com/about/about/about/jspecimens.html), took me on a bicycle explore through Baltimore City. Despite having lived nearby for a long time, I'd never ridden a bicycle in the city before. It was great! There were paths through lush green areas that I had no idea existed, winding overpasses and lake views. Our last stop of the day was the Rawlings Conservatory and Botanic Gardens, where we stopped to sketch. It was a whole new perspective on Baltimore for me.
