Pacific Northwest Trip Drawings

Hiking in the Chugach Mountains, Alaska
I took a trip this past fall visiting dear friends along the coast of the Pacific Northwest, hitting California, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. It was a fantastic time with many photos yet to be shared. I drew a picture of each place, of my fondest scenic memory. It's a great pleasure to take the time and use your memory and imagination to recreate some of your own special moments the way a camera never could.

I've seen a lot of amazing sights this past year, feeling blessed and excited for what's to come in 2013. Just got home from a holiday trip to the mainland, reflecting on the year and looking through photos, I wanted to share a random assortment of some beauty seen in 2012.
