Once again this year I am participating in the Every Day in May Challenge (EDM).
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the challenge, it has been going on for several years.
A list of items to sketch is provided and you do one sketch each day. The sketches are posted on the EDM Flickr. com page and the EDM Facebook page.
