Rainbows in the Lehigh Valley Gorge

[TMo]

Thanks for the idea, Charlie, I'm gonna get a DNA test for my wife for Christmas to find out what breeds are responsible for Cadbury.

Did a harvest for shrub armatures from my gray dogwoods on my property.  Just pulled off the ends that are near ground level - didn't have to resort to a stepladder and still easily filled up a gallon freezer bag which should last me a couple of years.

   

Bought some cinders to make my tailings pile more presentable and got out the paints to slap on some base gray over the brown.  I figure most of the area around this coal breakers is going to be dominated by coal, cinders, tailings and generally depression.


   

I'll be working the scenery (as usual) from back to front with "puffball" trees first along with some painted polyfill as time permits.  My wife's up in the kitchen with our recovering dog.  He's usually using all four legs to get around now which leads me to think that the surgery was successful and the soft tissue healing has progressed.  Three more weeks until he gets full house priveleges.
