Storms over cranberry bogs

Not many places are just right for cranberry growing, but the Long Beach peninsula is one such place. Have you ever seen a cranberry bog? Of course, the berries are red, but so are the plants. Big fields of burgundy red growth that seem to wait patiently under stormy skies.

Fully watered

As I walk across the dune grass, I can hear the wet surf just over the ridge. The wind carries the salty smell of the beach onto my clothes, in my hair, across my skin and I am refreshed. I take a deep breath. And another. And again and again.

Restored. Renewed. Calm. Filled to the brim with fresh air from the ocean. And my soul fully watered.

Tomorrow I paint. Before anything else. I paint!
