My late mother was an accomplished artist. Her favorite medium was watercolor, and landscapes were her specialty. Occasionally, she dabbled in abstracts, using watercolors, acrylics, or oils.
I thought of my mother when I saw this scene along a local river. Of course, I had to snap a photo of it. I’ve given you a hint about the bottom third of the scene. Can you guess the rest?
If not, here’s the rest of the story. This photo was taken at the bend in the river. A quarter mile downstream, the water is still due to a low-head dam.
Do you still need help? You are looking at the sheer face of a partially wooded limestone cliff that rises 100 feet above the river. The lime-green globs are cedar trees, and the gray greens are lichens. I shot this from the river’s north shore in a park where I was birding.
