'Soon Will Come The Rains'

'soon will come the rains
bringing life giving nectar to the trickling stream
gone will be the hot, grass hopper days of September
salmon and trout will complete their circle of life

the firs and ferns will glisten
cedars and willows will bow in celebration
as the stream returns to her life flow
soon will come the rains'

'Autumn - Esquimalt Lagoon'(cutthroat trout, plein air, Canadian west coast Impressionism)

On Friday morning our group of plein air painters

concentrated their efforts near the mouth of the Esquimalt

Lagoon. It is a beautiful spot with the beach contours

changing with the tide. The area is a significant bird refuge

here on southern Vancouver Island as well, a small stream

that feeds into the upper end of the lagoon is used by

sea-run cutthroat trout for spawning.

This is a special time up here in the Great White North,

we celebrate Thanksgiving this weekend.

So Happy Thanksgiving!
