I was out walking the dog today near the canal. The wind was howling and the sun was stuck behind a cloud formation they call the Sierra Wave. The water flowing through this landscape is crystalline, and if you don't mind a little cow piss, almost drinkable. All the trees are barely holding on to their leaves. A bird -- I think it was a kingfisher -- flew right by me, and the dog alighted after it and straight across the canal, coming out the other side and running head on into a pair of mules. The surprise on his face was only a small part of the thing that inspired me. Next time I will bring a sketchpad.
(BTW, I also do this blog: http://mudsocks.blogspot.com.)

I did not draw anything today but wish that I had. I did a drawing last Wednesday. Not really worth posting anywhere. It felt rusty but good.
