My thanks to this shady tree at the Lampson Pit, beside Columbia Park Trail's bicycle path in Kennewick, Washington. Comfortably cool, I sketched the Pioneer Memorial Bridge, dedicated July 30, 1954. There are three bridges in our area that cross the Columbia River; The Blue Bridge, Hwy 395 and The Cable Bridge connect Kennewick to Pasco and The Topless Bridge, Hwy I 82 connect Richland to Pasco.

Many thanks to YOU for posting this beautiful sketch of something that deserves cherishing and appreciation! This tree has seen many passers by, always providing yet never asking for anything in return. I believe that this is a kind and wonderfully done gift for the natural beauty Tri-Cities can provide. The coloring is vivid with a pop that makes me smile, yet there's enough subtlety to encourage the natural inspiration you saw through your eyes. Again, thank you!

ReplyDeleteJosie, thank you for your kind words. Originally from Vancouver, British Columbia, I look for natural beauty and do not take it for granted.
