My second favorite thing in the world is to hang out with my dog Shadow somewhere where I can sketch. The only thing I like better is to curl up with him and watch a movie.

Dimond Park lost one of its old trees after the heavy rain last winter. Another one of these oaks is slated to be taken down in a month. A huge limb had fallen, taking out some picnic tables, and revealing decay in the main trunk which makes the tree too hazardous to leave standing.
