Song for the late summer. Ah, at last we had some rain; I look forward to going in the woods to see if there has been a mushroom bloom.

I was inspired watching a little clip of one of my very favorite living illustrator/artists painting calligraphic blades of grass. Not that I can imagine ever reaching their level of craft or artistry. If you’re not familiar with it, you should look up Natee Himmapaan’s gorgeous work.

Older son just moved to Denver, and sent a photo of late afternoon sun, with rays streaming through clouds. It didn’t look like this at all.

could have used another couple of practice runs on this one, but it was late, I was tired.
