Drawing a bridge

Written last night:

Dear Friends,

You know I love bridges, so I decided to draw them this week; our class is supposed to be drawing things we see outside. For my first (clumsy, I realize!) attempt, Zing and I stood on the sidewalk of the yellow bridge near our home. The Tower Bridge, as it's known here, is the color of California gold; it crosses the Sacramento River and has become a symbol for the city. It’s a vertical lift bridge, meaning the center rises mechanically, thanks to machinery in its two towers, so high boats  can pass under. From the bridge it's a straight view across a grassy mall to the Capitol building a dozen blocks away.

Love,
k
