In 2018 I started this Damp Earth Art blog to hopefully invoke some rain during a drought year. We are in the new water year of 2022-23 and already have received 30.13" of precipitation as of New Year's Day! Fingers crossed that the storms keep coming! I'm going keep updating this blog, so if the rain inspired you to write or photograph or create art please send it to me, and I'll post it! Please send your work to me at northyubanaturalist@gmail. Maybe our joint efforts will inspire the heavens to continue to rain! You never know! Here are the latest submissions I've received: A year of Rain photos : Raindrops up close North Yuba River Canyon - Rose leaves and rain Black Locust leaves and rain - Cherry leaf and raindrop Black Locust leaf and raindrops - Grizzly Peak Incense Cedar in a downpour - Rose leaf and raindrops Mists and Firs - Dogwood leaf and raindrops More Raindrops The air smells so fresh and alive after it rains! Everything glistens and sparkles
