Sketching down the 101

There is a lot to see along scenic Highway 101 from Seattle to San Francisco. During our recent 900-mile road trip, we visited the aquarium in Newport, Ore., got our feet wet in desolate beaches along the coast, admired the majestic redwoods in Humboldt County and saw a colony of sea lions from a bluff in Moss Beach, Calif.

Though I don’t feel like drawing as much as I used to on my time off — I already sketch for my job! — I could not keep my hands away from the sketchbook to record a few scenes:

Yaquina Head Lighthouse. Newport, Oregon.

Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area. Newport, Oregon.

Trinidad State Beach

Avenue of the Giants at Humboldt Redwoods State Park.
