An exuberant return to ritual!
Beautiful flows emerge but then disappear in seconds as the paint dries. Only I get to see them, so I’m trying to capture some of the moments on camera. Rushing swirling roaring rivers can be underwhelming when they run dry.

Or else pick a detail, stick the type on it, and call it a day, right?
