December 19, 2014

It rained most of the day, today. The news said that the .85 inch that we got had put us at the highest rainfall total for this date in seven years! Of course we are not out of the drought yet, but getting there! 

The recent rains have had an impact on migratory birds too. Just a week ago the wetlands and bird preserves were dry with little areas for migrating birds to nest in. Many would have died. Now they are properly flooded to host birds from as far away as Russia and  Alaska for their winter home. Now is a great time for bird watching at the Cosumnes River Preserve and other areas. 

I had to paint it, of course! This one was painted mostly with Photoshop brushes in Photoshop. I wanted to see what I could do with it.
