Canoe Launch Spring 2010

video

Quite suddenly, it's now canoe season. Just a couple of weeks ago, Craig and I were biking around trails with snow. But this is what we saw over the weekend on the Chicago River. It's such a relief to have sunny warm weather again. We begin our training for the annualDes Plains Marathon in June.

This week I scanned the last of the drawings for my other project so my spirit is free to wander back to Waterways and the work ahead. I'll have lots of surprises coming up. Somehow after such a long dry spell with this project, I have about 5 years worth of ideas and a new organization to approach.

The symbol of an empty water vessel is a potent one for the coming weeks of the project and here are a few sketches done at the Field Museum recently.
