Leo Carrillo Ranch, Carlsbad, CA

The San Diego Urban Sketchers Meetup group met at the Leo Carrillo Ranch today.

This ranch is a former working ranchero once owned by Leo Carrillo, an actor who appeared in the tv series Cisco Kid. We had the chance to sketch any adobe buildings, windmills and about 2 dozen peacocks roaming the grounds.

Lake San Marcos, California

The San Deigo Urban Sketchers MeetUp group met at Lake San Marcos today. It was quiet and peaceful sketching the lake as the ducks and swans played in the water in front of us. There was a great view of houses and boats surrounded by palm trees across the lake .
