Nature
Falmouth Harbor
A beautiful Autumn Sunday afternoon in Falmouth, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. While Lisa walked Falmouth Heights, I sat in the car and sketched Falmouth Harbor. Still some boats left before they all get stored out of the water for the winter.

Fall Leaves II
Some different leaves on the edge of our driveway and have gone from green, to yellow and now are starting to turn a red color. This is an Korean Dogwood tree. Pilot Falcon fountain pen with Noodler’s Bulletproof black ink and Holbein watercolors in a Stillman and Birn sketchbook.
Fall Leaves 1
The fall leaves in New England are so beautiful and varied. These are on the edge of our driveway and have gone from green, to yellow and now are starting to turn a rust color. This tree actually keeps it’s leaves all winter and they fall off when the new growth starts to emerge.

Wine Grapes
Driving from Rim Rock Ranch to San Francisco through Napa, we stopped and took some photographs at some vineyards. Pilot Falcon fountain pen with Noodler’s Bulletproof black ink and Holbein watercolors in a Stillman and Birn sketchbook.
Langtry Vineyards
A quick watercolor sketch under a grape arbor at the Langtry vineyards. Beautiful location overlooking the valley and a lake beyond. Holbein watercolors in a Stillman and Birn Beta sketchbook.
Strawberries
Another image from our travels through Watsonville and all of the strawberries. As long as I can remember, strawberry boxes always were from Watsonville, California. Even better when super fresh.

Artichoke
Traveling from San Francisco airport to Carmel, we pass through Watsonville, California. This is part of the bread basket of America and you can tell by the miles and mile of vegetable fields as far as the eye can see. The Artichoke plants were beautiful and the Artichokes are almost ready for picking.

Sea Roses
The Sea Roses along the shore are so fragrant this time of year. They seem to bloom most of the summer. But in the early fall, when everything else starts to fade away, the roses seem to flourish. Holbein watercolors in a Stillman and Birn Beta Sketchbook.
Falmouth Heights
A quick ink sketch of Falmouth Heights from near the Yacht Club in Falmouth, Massachusetts. It was a beautiful day to sit on the rocks of the jetty and sketch. Pilot Falcon fountain pen with Noodler’s Bulletproof black ink in a Stillman and Birn sketchbook.
