this beautiful river is usually crystal clear, but today it is red and full of floating branches, big pieces of trees, and moving so fast, big swirls of intense water...... wilderness energy swirling around and through me. pilamaya.

flooding

yep, the sacred "long one" is flooding....6 feet and still rising. the mother was so very dry, so this heavy rain is running over her and off very quickly and into the streams and the river. a cleansing for the river and a long deep drink for the hemlocks and all the standing tall ones. the road that i will drive out on is on the right side of this picture, under the water!

oh yes, it's working. looks good, these pictures represent the artwork much more accurately. lots of soft detail, colors are accurate and not too much contrast or overexposed like old camera.

new camera test.
