These days are best spent inside. Texas heat is fierce. It's fryday every day (pun intended). Spent the afternoon watching the Astros win over the Cubs in 12 innings. I love day games. It gives me a chance to study shadow colors and reflected lights. The white uniforms are especially fun. The orangey dirt of the pitcher's mound and infield really reflects into the white uniforms. Even the Astros' grey pants are "warmed up" by the dirt. Sky colors show up in the shadows. An announcer in the stands had a bright white shirt and the shadow from his head included the blue/violet of the sky bowl and there were folds that reflected the other blues. And the side lights are extreme!

Scouring Moonstone Beach, study
8"x6"


People watching! It's a fun thing and in California, it was people wandering the beaches who caught my eye. This pose was typical of people on Moonstone Beach. apparently there are little moonstones & I may have found a few but not sure how to identify them. Sure hope this woman found some.
