Delicious Weather at Thornton Creek

 

6/19/26 Thornton Creek

Sculpture at Thornton Place

We had some utterly delicious weather last week! Temps in the high-60s to mid-70s and sunshine – the kind of weather that makes me so happy and thankful that I live here!

Nilda and I chose one of those ideal days to sketch at Thornton Creek, which was new to her. Although the walking path is mostly sunny in the morning, trees provide pockets of deep shade. If I sketch there often enough, I’m going to run out of those handy spots, but so far I keep finding new views, like this one.

Up on the street level where I was waiting for Nilda, I finally got around to sketching a “leg” of some public art I see whenever I’m near Northgate. Three of these metal sculptures stick out of the ground, and I always think they look like octopus legs (or maybe a Dr. Seuss-inspired animal).

One more reason why I live here.
