Day 86, brought back not only some wonderful sunshine, but also some warmer temperatures. I was able to get out early and study the early morning sunlight. Studying the cast shadows is something I can never spend too much time on, because they are never captured correctly in a photograph. Was glad to have such a beautiful morning to enjoy.
Sunday, Day 87, had a few clouds roll in but the temperature was a balmy 65 degrees! I loaded my backpack and trekked across the highway to a small pasture. I really like the way the cattle gap opening gives a great lead in to the pasture behind. Oh and those cast shadows across the grass!!The warm day on Sunday was followed by a steady rain through out the night; close to 3 inches! The backyard along with just about everything else was pretty much flooded. Funny how a little water can completely change a scene you walk through everyday. Just like cast shadows, I am equally fascinated by puddles, so of course on Day 88, that's what I chose to study.
Tuesday, Day 89, was a full day of classes and meetings at the CARE building. I managed to grab about thirty minutes during lunch and so I did a quick study of the Subway across the street.
I don't study structures as much as I would like because they usually require more time than I allow myself in these studies. I realize though the only way to get comfortable with them, is to do more of them.
We don't get much snow in Mississippi, but we an get some amazingly beautiful, heavy frosts. This morning, Day 90, offered one of those early morning frosts. There was so much in the air that even the cedar trees looked flocked. The whole world seems to have a cool iciness to it and it is VERY short lived. I set my easel up as fast as I could and was lucky enough to study before it all melted away.
