It was two days before superstorm Sandy hit the north east and I was driving into town when a leaf landed on my antenna and hung there in the wind and rain. All the way up until the storm hit, it poured every day and those overcast skies seemed to say, "beware." I shot the image through my rainy window in the early afternoon. The sky was as dark as evening.
The Caldeirão Verde waterfall during a really heavy downpour, which was probably one of the most tropically impressive views in Madeira, Portugal. 🇵🇹 This waterfall is 100 meters high, and the water flows into a huge basin. My entire photo equipment was totally soaked, miraculously nothing was damaged!
I see the blue sky behind the maple leaves, but when I showed the finished painting to my hubby, he said he sees the leaves floating on aqua blue water in a pond or pool.
What do you see?
"Healthy soils... could hold up to eight times more water than more depleted soils. And one of the ways to build #healthysoil structure was to let natural matter such as #leaves decompose into it and release #nutrients. Stripping away all the waste from a #garden, then buying #compost to #fertilise it, was counter intuitive."
Let's spread some happiness with this colorful maple leaves in yellow, orange, red, green, blue and purple happily dancing across the paper in this hand-painted acrylic painting.
I sketch when I am learning by listening. Otherwise I zone out and do not retain anything. By engaging other parts of my brain (and hands), the bored part wakes up. LOL
