Tumwater Falls Park

While Urban Sketchers Seattle was meeting in the University district, I joined Urban Sketchers Tacoma at Tumwater Falls park. This is my first outing in a month as I was on a trip and then caught a cold immediately upon arriving home. It was good to be out again.

It was especially nice to be in such a natural setting. The river was roaring all along it's route. After doing just one sketch, I decided to just take a walk along the path.

Tumwater Falls Park

This place is a sketcher's dream with its old buildings (remnants of the Olympia Brewery), bridges, falls, fish ladders and trails. Worth the trip. I did the original sketch on a wet cloudy February day when there were no leaves on the trees. The color added on a second trip in April during unusually warm weather.
