After days of stormy wet weather, woke up to sun today. Raindrops are shimmering on everything-- bare winter branches, grass, ferns, and huckleberry bushes. My favorite is seeing the morning sun lighting up one side of the redwood trees. Rusty red-brown bark, bare lower branches. All topped off by huge, leafy branches swaying gently in the wind.
Chiura Obata painted it so beautifully.
