It was a warm, and sunny morning in January, when we went to the Clementine Lake in Auburn, for a walk. It is an artificial lake with a dam, on the American River. It’s a very picturesque place despite it's artificial origin. I'm not really into hiking, so when I stopped and tried to take my breath on our way back up the steep road I noticed this little, green flower or plant, in the middle of a vertical wall of huge rocks. Mother nature is such a magnificent designer. It had sat tight on a rock surface for years! The diameter of this plant wasn't bigger than one inch and I used a macro setting for my camera to take a close picture. This soft pastel artwork is 12"x16" on Canson pastel paper.
