Many times my family and I would stop for a picnic or a night of camping at Jeddidiah State Park in California just south of the Oregon/California border while on our way to the coast.  The huge, majestic, Coastal Redwoods were always such an awe inspiring experience.  Always I took photographs and sketched.  The little black bear is from a photo I quickly snapped while traveling up the Crater Lake Highway on my way to visit beautiful, blue Crater Lake in Southern Oregon.  I felt he would also feel at home in the Redwoods.
