This is our view when transporting the canoe. Can you see the elephant in the distance? We put in at Slick Rock and paddled upstream awhile for a better view of the elephant. Ever wonder what Slick Rock looks like up close? (Sorry, no elephant in it) The reason we were able to put in [...]

Not “sundried” but “sundries” – it is a word that means “various items not important enough to be mentioned individually”. Sometimes the sun is so good coming through the windows of the workshop that I can prop small paintings on the door for photography purposes. Kind of handy to not mess with the tripod! This [...]

December is winter in our minds, but the reality in Three Rivers is that most of the month is still autumn. Have a look at my studio and workshop with the flowering pear tree! When my friend Stacy sold it to me almost 10 years ago, I told her I needed the largest one she [...]
