The day began cold and windy and ended warmer, sunny and windy. I asked Maria if she would mind driving me around a bit to catch the photographer’s light I love, around 6 p.m., although it changes every day. She never minds, she is always happy to drive me around and she sketches while I jump in and out of the car. How can I convey how much I love to do this, how lucky I am to have someone who is happy to encourage me in this work: I was rewarded by the light hitting these two old barns in front of a greening hillside.
