The view, 6:09 am


This is what I get to wake up to every morning. It makes getting out of bed a whole lot easier.

Today's drawing captures the shape of the Sandia mountains better than yesterday's, less craggy at the top. I often can't see details like that when I'm doing a drawing, but I see them instantly when the image is on the computer screen. Sandia means "watermelon", and you can see why when they turn bright pink during the sun set. When the sun is rising, the shape of the mountain reminds me of a whale emerging through the surface of the ocean.
