And a couple views of the barn across from Bald Mountain in a field where I used to play growing up. Sadly, it burned in the recent 4 Mile Canyon fire.<br />

I got a couple of books, learned some landmarks and got sketching. I started with deer for no reason at all. These are highlights from 10 pages of sketching. Onto dogs - Gus, Milo watch out!<br />
