Second Street, Davis; the Varsity Theater. Today was hot and bright; I sat and drew this in the shade of a tree. The Fall quarter began this week, and there are lots of new students milling about in packs, impressing each other. It’s new year’s day in a college town.
I remembered that exactly ten years ago I moved over to Belgium for my year abroad, and it rained constantly for the first couple of weeks that I was there. A million miles from here, with nigh-on 100 degree weather. And another thought: it is exactly four years since I emigrated from the UK to live in America. The first job I got here was in the bookstore on this very street, directly opposite the Varsity. I don’t think I imagined we’d still be here now. Funny how the years go by. I got myself a strawberry lemonade smoothie, and went home.

Pete, this is an especially good drawing. Everything spot-on and vibrant.

You always bring us great stuffs… but you already know it !
I love Uk, it’s hard for me imagine you living in “the states”…. I’ll gladly come back to England, anytime!… don’t you miss that foggy land? :P
greetings from Tequila’s land!
cheers! i do miss the changeable british weather sometimes, but today it was a litle greyer and cooler, so it reminded me of home. Almost.
Beautiful! So true to to second street. Great job.
