Maitai Creek, after the storm

What a difference sunlight and another day makes. The Maitai River is still turgid from yesterday's downpour, but this little creek sparkled in the sun. Even the wild flowers survived the wind and rain, and stand as lovely as ever. I notice that my work is opening up since I moved back to brushing, and I have rediscovered the joy of the rigger, a small long haired brush, for branches, twigs, (and the rigging of ships). Must be careful not to overdo it. Thanks Tony.
