Plein Air Painters

A the Vernal Equinox, the Sequoia Riverlands Trust offered 3 days of painting locally, one of which drew 30-40 painters up and down Dry Creek, slowing locals on the road, most in disbelief. Quite nice for a change.

The weekend brought much-needed showers ranging from .36” to .73” to the ranch, a hard rain at times that pummeled poppies Sunday morning. The first row of foothill south slopes have faded to browns and grays and probably won’t come back to green this late in the season, but by Tuesday the poppies on the Homer Ranch (Sequoia Riverlands Trust) had begun to recover.

Greasy Creek
While checking branded calves and putting out salt, I’ve tried to capture some of the different varieties of our local wildflowers, etc. (check-out the sidebar: ‘Natives’), an ambitious sortie into botany we’ll not complete. Meanwhile, inhabitants above keep busy with the ritual of spring.
