Cinnabon

Nothing like the power of  the crop tool in your photo processing software.  This is a pretty bad sketch, but it was part of a lot of sketches done at the local mall.  On the original page it is all lost in space, but with a square crop, it turned out okay – just okay – but much more presentable.

This morning, I met up with a friend and we went up to one of my favorite local places, the botanical garden a few miles from my house.  Before you knew it, 2.5 hours had passed, filled with sketching, painting, chit-chat, and coffee.  Not a bad way to spend a sunny morning!

Trees & Fog

Another picture from my excursion into a damp and foggy world (a rarity of late here in SoCal where temperatures have been heinously high).  This time, a panorama of about 9 images, cropped and edited a bit.  I used the Df and 24-85 lens.

That morning, the fog was very thick, and even around 9:30 a.m. when I took this, the fog was dense.  Only later did the sun break through.  It was rather eerie to wander alone . . . just a few days from Halloween!
