Last weekend, I rode my electric bike down Tennessee Valley Road, all the way to the lovely Tennessee Beach, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, just a few miles from the Golden Gate Bridge.
On a sunny April afternoon, the valley was lush and green, blooming with colorful lupine, checker-bloom, blue-eyed grass, California buttercup, and California poppy. Other hikers and bikers gathered and played at the beach, and most tried to stay at a safe distance from each other, due to the Coronavirus.
I now go biking every day on my trusty Benno Boost ebike, to clear my head and stay healthy during the pandemic. We are incredibly lucky to have so many beautiful trails right in our own backyard. And I am grateful that our health crisis is nudging us all to exercise more and live more sustainably.

Awareness and preparedness for emergencies at local level (APELL). APELL achieves its aims through community participation in emergency planning, via a structured dialogue between representatives of the source of the hazard (e.g. a land-owner), local authorities (the emergency services, e.g. fire and /or police) and community leaders (who inform their constituencies). This dialogue is achieved through a ‘Coordinating Group’ which reviews the hazard situation and then proposes some measures to address the risks. The outcome is an emergency plan to which the community has provided substantial input and which is understood by ordinary citizens.

On the roof of the Environment Agency's new headquarters, visited as part of Bristol Doors Open 2011. The guide explained that since moving into the building, the Environment Agency had had problems with seagulls picking up pebbles from the narrow band at the edge of the roof, perching on the parapet and dropping them over the edge onto the pavement below. It was thought this was because the gulls mistook the pebbles for the eggs of competitors.
Now there are pigeon spikes on the outer edge of the parapet and wire netting over the pebbles.

Crab shanties line the channel leading to Tangier Island in Accomack County, Va., on March 20, 2017. In summer, watermen use the shanties to monitor blue crabs held in rows of tanks, waiting for the "peelers" to shed and become delicious soft-shell crabs.

My main goal on this sketch was to draw an entire environment and again have it done before Shannon went to bed. I had all day of course to work on it, but I kinda like the forced last minute exercises so i can't linger and rework everything that should be a sketch anyway. My secondary goal was to try and achieve different textures which was part of the reason i chose the picture i did.. I feel I only succeeded with the texture part marginally though,(as in i pretty much failed haha) its something I still need to work on in the future
