Natalie, please tell “Jee-um” Happy Birthday from me today – thank you!
This rain is wonderful. I went driving around, not just for the sake of burning fuel, but to see some stuff. Artists have to see stuff.
What’s my job description? I see stuff and then decide if it is worth showing to other people.
I saw lots and lots of water, here in January in Tulare County. This is the St. John’s River. I crossed it several times, and also crossed the Kaweah, drove along several irrigation ditches, and crossed the Friant-Kern canal several times.
If the bridge above looks familiar, it is because you may have seen it on the 2017 calendar. This also gives you a chance to admire my ability to clean up real life, which tends to be messy and cluttered.
What’s my job description? I fix visual messes.
That was “This“.
Now for “That“.
That oil painting of the P fruits is coming along. If you are wondering, the dimensions are 6×18″.
The Other Thing is how beautiful it is in Three Rivers this time of year, especially when it is a wet season. Please excuse the lines across the photo. They are actually what enable me to post on this blog, but unfortunately they connect me to Huge & Rude. (the phone co.)
Can you see the elephant on Alta Peak? Here is a little visual aid as to how it is posed:
The trunk on my elephant is going the wrong direction and his head is bit outsized; you’ll have to use your imagination a bit.
What’s my job description? I help people understand what they are seeing.
Thus we conclude the post “This, That and The Other Thing”. Thanks for stopping by.

Jana, so glad to hear that you guys got some good rains in January! And l loved seeing your snow pictures a few posts down. We haven’t had any real snow to speak of here yet this season. Of course, now that I say that, we’ll probably get a blizzard 🙂 Blessings to you and hugs from KS!
Cheryl, there is more rain coming, along with snow in the mountains. It has been about 5 years since we had a real winter, and around here, rain is more than weather. It is an Event. No one dares to complain, and when they do, everyone around shuts them down right away.
It’s my pleasure to “stop by!” I always enjoy your blog posts, even if I don’t comment on every one.
May I post your blog link to the Mineral King group on Facebook? https://www.facebook.com/groups/MineralKing
I think others would enjoy reading about your Tulare Co. adventures!
Sharon, I think you are the most faithful commenter on my humble weblog, and I appreciate your voice over the sound of crickets.
Sure, you may share my link on FB. I’m not on there, so whatever you do there might garner a few new readers for me; ’til you’re better paid, I thank you.
