I had to paint from a different vantage point this week as the road further ahead had been bulldozed! It was a very busy day there with trucks coming and going with large rocks and earth being moved from one place to another and one bulldozer moving earth on the hill...at times looking like he would go over the edge if he went one more inch!
There was also a doe and her two fawns going right through the construction zone, missing the large trucks by a second as they made a dash for the wooded habitat, but still within the construction site. Such a feeling of helplessness and fragility amongst all the noise and gigantic earth moving equipment.

Look carefully for the deer!
The deer made it across. They are camouflaged in the grasses in the center of the photo.
I will be adding the earth moving equipment soon!
So far, from this vantage point of the Dormody platform, it looks like they are on their sixth step pool...approximately fifty-one more to go! It takes three days to create one...a lot of work ahead before the rains come! I understand they need to bring in about 6,000 boulders to complete this part of the project. You can see a stockpile to the right.
While I was there they were working on the next step pool. A worker was sprayed with lots of muddy water as the operator working the machinery was tamping down the earth...It's a tough job, for sure, especially in the heat!
