It should be spring in Kansas City, but it snowed today. My poor little spring flowers that are trying to show off, are snow covered now.
After church I drove through town taking snowy reference pictures. I stopped once to sketch from my car. I tried out my new Pocket Palette. #pocketpalette This is the Kansas City Preforming Arts Center. 
I am trying something new! This is a ‘reblog’ of a blog I follow. I think you will enjoy this artist, both with the watercolors and the writing. This most recent post will make you feel like you are present on the beach. Shut your eyes, and you can smell the salt in the air. Enjoy.
Non scelgo i frutti dell’oceano lustrati e venduti in negozi di souvenir per raccontare le architetture mirabolanti del mare, affondo pensiero, memoria, sguardo nelle meraviglie colte lungo le spiagge infinite dell’Aquitaine in passeggiate e vita intera srotolate tra onde e sabbia.
Se si potesse raccontare l’infinito, suggerirei una mattina d’inverno lungo le spiagge oceaniche del bordolese. Tutto è vento e acqua, tutto sparisce e tutto si condensa in odore di mare, vento e spruzzi d’azzurro e sale. Dovunque, tra la sabbia più fine e preziosa dell’oro, son relitti di perfezione, costruzioni di tempo e Natura, piccole imbarcazioni di straordinaria bellezza: le conchiglie portate dalla furia dell’oceano.

Alcuni hanno candori marmorei, scanalature di colonne di templi antichi, compostezza, geometria dorica, canne d’organo di oceano e vento.
Altri sono testimoni immobili…

We woke up to 79 degrees and sunshine. It is predicted to rain this afternoon, so Derald left early to fish. Blooming trees, water fowl and painting. 
This is a dandy campground. Everything on our loop looks brand new. Derald can walk his kayak to the waters edge, which is a huge advantage.
Looking up to the trailer, from the water. 
Everything looks brand new. Nice concrete terraced steps lead to the picnic table. Then beyond that is a path to the lake.
