Thank You Lord for the Rain

Today is sweater weather and I'm having hot soup for lunch. Right now it is raining softly and I've got all of the doors open to let out the fumes from the wood stain. After I finished staining all the woodwork this morning I noticed I was starting to feel a little heavy headed. I think I'm better off with a little chill in the air than the stain fumes. It is so awesome to hear the rain coming down. I pray it is drenching Lake County to the east helping with the Valley Fire.

Put a Cork in It

I love looking at other photographers work. It gives me ideas for concepts in my own work. Yesterday I was looking at a tourist magazine for Mendocino County that featured wines. There were several spots(that's a pun) in the magazine that used wine stains as an embellishment to the page. I decided to improve upon the concept by creating my own image using a wine cork as the main focus instead of the stain. Here is the result.

God's love and blessings for the upcoming New Year to all of you,
