This was one of those days where the air was crisp and the sun picked it's spots. When you found those sun-warmed spots you soaked them up before walking on into the shade.

The large rock, has one of those spots, but you can't sit on it, you'd fall in the cold water! The water going around in the pool just above the falls, reflects multicolor leaves. These are on trees behind the little rocks in the background. It was a fall day, where the leaves were at their best!

I have seen these logs down in our pond enough times to almost have them memorized I think! I like their dark colors from the water and how the bark comes off with time. The mossy rock in front was very soft to the touch, until you got down to the water part, then not so much.

There is a little glare from the wet paint in the darkest bits. I tried many camera shots to get rid of that, and just couldn't. Sorry, wanted to get it out to you.

On the studio front... Himself is hitting the last wall today with plastering and sanding and wait for it... paint! I will finally have a white wall across from me instead of a torn up dark red wall, where the bookcase used to be. So happy. 

Ever onward my crispy friends.
