As the water in my paintbrush froze into slush, I sketched some shadows spilling over the old rail trail in the last moments before sunset. This stretch of trail fared better than other sections that were washed out by last week's unprecedented coastal flooding.
(The russet-colored blob is one of my favorite features of the trail. In about four months it will be a green mound of blooming lilacs.)
