Wow. With summer being in full swing I haven't been able to do as much sketching as I want to. I actually go days between sketches which is frustrating.

| RED, WHITE AND BLUE: From the fourth of July family gathering. Our son, Daniel, A US Marine stationed in South Carolina came out for a visit over the holiday. We actually had all but one of our kids together for the first time in 10 years. |
Here's a few sketches I managed in between other outdoor activities.
 |
| The Tree Sisters in Eastern Oregon. |
 |
| The corner of Water and Montgomery in Albany. |
 |
| Albany City Hall. |
 |
| Colorful alleyway doors in Albany. |
Just a quick note: In two days it'll be 10 years that I've been writing THE KONA LIFE. It started out as random ramblings and quickly became a journal for my triathlon journey. Now it's morphed into a sketching blog.
If it all works out I'd love to kind of combine my passions for triathlon, running, biking and swimming and sketching into one blog and begin posting sketches of athletic events as well as start doing reviews of products from pens and sketchbooks to running shoes and swim goggles.

| I started a new sketchbook (Stillman & Birn Beta series A4) and for my first sketch in a new book I like to sketch what tools I will be using in it. This time I intentionally sketched and painted as quickly as I could, as well as leaving myself a note to remind me to, keep my sketches loose -- at least in this book. |
While Daniel was here we went to visit Steve Prefontaine's memorial in Eugene.

| Pre's memorial |

Lots of mementos left by visitors

Here's a few of the above sketches with the actual locations.
Have a great week. If you actually read this stop by and say hi on July 19, 2017. It'll be THE KONA LIFE'S 10-year anniversary.
