Its been raining for two days now, off and one. I went to Front Range Community College and continued with my painting class. I am not the best, but I sure had fun with my jousting painting because it had a lot of elements to it. I don't know about you, but I love all the small details one can cram into a painting see if you can find Waldo its pretty easy :D
While painting may not be my forte, I do love the small details and have fun doing it. Painting comes with its challenges though, I can't hold a paint brush still to save my life, but thank goodness for rulers right if I need to have a straight line. After Painting 101 I returned outside to the gloomy rain falling in light drizzles. My favorite thing to do during a light rainstorm is go to Margret's Pond. Margret's pond is a small body of water undisturbed by the surrounding golf courses and homes of Legacy Ridge, its a beautiful place to walk. There's this tall tree that hangs over the trail with beautiful gold laurels of leaves falling down in light patterns on the ground. The rain makes the bark a deep ebony hue.
The trees were a crisp yellow and the smell of fall fell lightly with the gentle rain
My favorite though is when the dewdrops collect on the dead flowers and hang there like beaded jewels.
After an inch of rainfall at Margret's Pond its always fun to see if the waterfall is running, usually its just a gentle trickle, but today it was gushing down the rocks.
After Margret's Pond, the best part is hunting for the red trees, which lie in a small clusters along the roadway, they are some of my favorite fall colors.
