Moody falls, millpond

Working on indoor house projects—two lock-sets and deadbolts installed, one combination to go—instead of trekking outside is almost painful, but doing the work myself saves money and boosts self-esteem, so I'd call this a worthwhile sacrifice. Besides, when I finished in the mid-afternoon, I had another mission... and a reward. We recently bought a new... well, nicely seasoned... small truck—a '98 Toyota Tacoma—and I drove it over to my friendly mechanic to deal with a few minor issues. It was a ridiculously warm day, with temperatures approaching 60, so I put my bicycle in the truck bed, and rewarded myself by biking home. There weren't a lot of photo ops on the way back, but I did manage a shot I liked of water moving over a small set of falls. The drought persists—we're about a foot below normal in total rainfall for the year—but recent modest rains have resulted in at least a bit of swelling and falling. Truth in photography: I had a bit of fun with the shot in Photoshop, and I hope the enhancements, via a watercolor filter, are appealingly subtle.
