End of Ponderosa



          Our oldest son used to cut up through this way delivering papers in junior high.  My job, as I remember was to help with the Sunday edition.  I have a little more time now to stop and do a sketch. It is a lot more overgrown and fenced than what it was in the mid 1980's.  It appears that this is the remnant of a hedge row that is about 1/2 block long that somehow survived.  This is the north end after the hedge row comes up the hill and runs into Ponderosa Street coming from the north. You can see the guard rail and warning sign where the two meet. 
          I have all sorts of sketch pads. Different sizes and papers.  I might have any one with me at any given time.  This day it was a mid-sized one.  The effect achieved by the super fine Sharpie is nice with some shading added with a different worn out marker.  And it reproduces well with a somewhat dysfunctional digital camera.
