Summer Trip Part Four

 Of course, we had to see the faces,
Mt. Rushmore!
 This time we took the President's Trail.
It goes right underneath the faces.

This one looks like Lincoln has a pine beard.



 Such a beautiful and inspiring place.
Bye for now!

Summer Trip Part 3

 On this day of our trip we went to meet up with my sis
for lunch in the Spearfish Canyon.
Naturally it was time for a family photo!
Afterwards, we went for a hike on a trail
that takes you from the top of a waterfall,
 To a bridge that overlooks it,
from very high up!
But it's a great view,

 in both directions!
 Then it takes you to the bottom
where you can feel the mist coming off 
the waterfall.

 It was a great hike
and we had a wonderful visit!
Bye for now!

Summer Trip Part Two

 On the second day of our trip we went to Custer State Park.
While there we rode a paddle boat on a serene lake,
(sorry no pics of that, but I forgot to bring my camera),
and  picnic under a huge oak tree.





 And driving the loop
seeing lots of wildlife,

 including lots of donkeys!
 And, taking in beautiful vistas!


Bye for now!

Summer Trip Part One

 As with last year, 
our summer trip took us to South Dakota,
to visit with the hubby's parents.
My girl had been out there already,
ever since she got out of school.
So by the time hubby and I got there,
she was as familiar with their place
as Grandma and Grandpa were.
Here we are taking a walk around their property.




 Peaking out of the rocks
and
blowing dandelions.

 A great view!

 Rock specimens.
Bye for now!

Funny Bunny

 Here is an adorable vintage book I found
at a garage sale!




 I love the fox cleaning his tail!
And the scene below is my favorite.
Bye for now!

Thrifty Finds

 Isn't this little guy cute! 
I found him at a garage sale for 50 cents!
 And the thrift store yielded a great vintage sheet,
 Some lovely fabric
 and vintage pillowcases!
Bye for now!

Sketches of the Week

Still in a Christmas and winter mood with my art, and still working on my technique with gouache. It's a much trickier medium than I ...
