Driving through the Greenwood neighborhood, I was looking
for an interesting church that I had seen on a previous visit, but I never made
it there: This little maple growing in a traffic circle stopped me in my
tracks. Every time I think all the trees have given up their color, I spot one
that insists there’s still plenty of time to shine.
When I finished the tree, I still had about 15 minutes
before I had to leave for an appointment, and then I remembered this week’s Urban Sketchers Flickr group theme: utility lines. Power poles and lines are so ubiquitous in Seattle that I barely
had to turn my gaze from the tree to make my next sketch.

Wonderful colors in this gem of a tree! Excellent drawing of the power lines. I don't think you missed even one.
