Hot humid summer weather didn't keep me from going out to Shaw Nature Reserve.  It is one of my favorite places to paint.  There was a nice breeze to keep things comfortable.  The prairie flowers were blooming and the grasses are starting to turn that russet color.  Dark pines in the background seemed like guardians of the field.  A nice morning spent in this lovely place.
