Nature is always a good source of sketch subjects. Here's a drawing obviously called Tree1:



If you rent a Vespa scooter from Jet City Scooters and ride it over the Magnolia bridge, you can find this very tree located outside a school building up in that Seattle neighborhood. Jet City Scooters will deliver the rented scooter directly to you anywhere in the greater Seattle area. Then they'll pick it up when you're done with the rental period. Finally, scooter rentals for the rest of us! Right here in Seattle.

Let me know if you need more specific directions... I could look up the address and get a MapPoint map of this tree's exact location... but I'm too lazy to do that now. Maybe next time I'll be more ambitious. More likely not.

Stay tuned!

Happy birthday Lisa! I won't tell anybody how old you are today. Let's just say I'm still older... Not old, just older. (Track #6)

Here's another gecko I drew; this one came off of a cap that I wear when we run sometimes.



Speaking of running... Robin, Nathan and I ran our first 5k road race on Sunday. The "Issaquah Rotary Run 2003" was part of our annual Salmon Days festival here in town. Results were recorded by Perfect Time Events. (Check out our results live on the web by clicking on the hyperlink and scrolling down to the 2003 Issaquah Rotary Run.) We came in right smack in the middle of the pack. I ran it in about 27 minutes and Robin and Nathan came in around 30 minutes. Woo-hoo! Go Cole fam!
