Rains have come, the river is high and fast and the ducks and herons are staying far away. The cattails are beginning to bend and bunch together. It must be tiring standing up all summer long!
The mallows are drying up. I'll draw the seed pods in January. Right now, I'll content myself with drawing the cheerful, bright yellow Coreopsis flowers along the river bank. I think they are the last hurrah before a final trumpet blast of fall foliage. Then the drenching cold rain and wind can come and strip it all away.
In the winter I will pore over my drawings from warmer and sunnier days and think of next year.
