Every Day in September 2016, #7 - Environments/Habitats - Spring Where I Live

 EDiS – Environments/Habitats - #7 - “Spring Where I Live”
Never throw anything away. You might be able to recycle/reuse it sometime. Like if you know you are going to be sketching wooden boats over the weekend and won't have much time for your Every Days. So, in that vein, I'm bringing back one of my favorite sketch projects from two years ago - “Whidbey Island Spring”. The Red Rufous hummingbirds have returned from their travels south to join our resident Anna's at the feeders and red flowers. The Gray whales are also back “home” in the waters of the Salish Sea, announcing their return with tail slaps, spy-hops and belly-rolls for our enjoyment and delight. Skunk cabbages are sending up pungent yellow spikes in the wetlands. Across the Sound, daffodils and tulips bloom in a striped quilt of brilliant color on the green Skagit Valley floor, and plum trees are heavy with delicate pink blossoms. The Mountain is still “out” wearing its winter cloak of snowy white. Pacific Northwest Spring.
