Capitol Hill library is an extremely frequent destination for us, as we are both avid readers and movie watchers. I love the trellis at the entrance.

I visited MOHAI (Museum of History and Industry) on this day, I had never been to the old location so I had nothing to compare it to, Very interesting place! I will definitely sketch inside on some lovely rainy day, but on this day I stayed outside and made this drawing of a fireboat docked at South Lake Union.

We went camping in the North Cascades National Park last weekend. The weather was beautiful! We stayed at the Colonial Creek Campground on Diablo Lake.

I sketched at the Diablo Dam on Sunday and while it was very sunny it was also very very windy! I made my first sketch from a pontoon pier and then walked across the damn to get the other view. The dam produces electricity for Seattle and was once the tallest dam in the world. The water in the lake is a crazy turquoise blue, I learned that it is caused by the surrounding glaciers that grind rock into a fine powder, that powder stays suspended in the lake giving the water it's intense color.
