Today the thermometer looked promising. However, we live in Indiana and it's Circus Days. Ever since I moved to this Midwestern twin Circus Days meant the seven hottest day of the year. After breakfast I was doing the driving and I knew exactly where we were going to paint today. By water that is the Wabash. Near the old coon hunters lodge, my gosh what a name. The river drops from the dam and there is an overlook that's positively historic. The overlook is the Seven Pillars overlook.
Tim edged out onto a ledge where the layered limestone is broken loose from the parent rock. He sets up looking like he'll go over should the rock let go. I'm a little more careful setting up back a ways from the edge but can still see east down the river. This is a great view. I'm not in the sun yet, but about twenty minutes later it's bearing down on me. Little did I know I was getting dehydrated. I finished up by an hour and a half. Tim was still working with his singsong tone " you win some you lose some."
