More Opening Weekend in Mineral King

Mineral King was overcast, cold, rainy and foggy on opening weekend this year. Guess it makes sense to get March in May since we had May in March.

What’s a Central California artist to do? How about read, knit and discuss colors? I said blue, Michael said purple, and neighbor Annie said purplish blue. (Discussing the yarn color with a purple glasses case thrown in for comparison.)

How about a some bird watching out the window? Down the hill we have California quail and scrub jays; up the hill we have Mountain Quail and stellar jays.

Reminds me of a couple of paintings! Mineral King is definitely a major source of inspiration behind my art.

Well, oops. There seems to now be a tree missing from this scene.
