In Michigan we do not have earthquakes or hurricanes, we have February.  This week was the beginning of spring.  On Friday the temperature hit 68 degrees and I went to Dodge Park in Sterling Heights to paint.  Because the path is paved I loaded everything in a little red wagon and walked along the river until I found this cluster of trees that begged me to paint them. The sun was very bright and there was not a lot of color.  I love the rich green of the river and the sunlight as it sparkled on last years dried grasses.
What a great way to greet spring!
