Happy Birthday, Mom! On Easter Sunday in the afternoon, Trail Guy and I took another spring walk in Three Rivers. Let’s skip the chit-chat and look at the pictures. This is the view up toward Case Mountain. Here is Alta Peak with its elephant and Moro Rock. Fiesta flowers The flume above Dinely Drive; forgive […]
House Oil Painting Commission
I figured out that I could paint from looking at the photos on my computer screen. It is a little annoying that I have to keep waking it up, but I can deal with some annoyance. As I worked on this, several parts were not visible. So, I stepped out my door. Would you look […]
Spring in Three Rivers, continued
Sometimes it feels as if Spring in Three Rivers lasts for about 20 minutes. This feeling causes me to not want to leave the area, not even to go to Exeter for a day to teach people how to draw, which is something I love to do. With apologies to the writer of the song […]
New Coloring Book!
Are you aware that coloring books for grownups is a huge fad? Huge! HUGE! Written up in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and even the Visalia Times-Delta. . . I have friends telling me they love to color. These are adults. And just over the weekend, the subject was in the Fresno Bee. […]
More Poppy Peeping
This poppy peeping trip was up North Fork Drive out of Three Rivers. It was with one friend in a Mustang convertible that her Mom bought on her 88th Christmas. (No, my friend isn’t 88 – it was her Mom who was 88). It was a great top-down day, and sometimes I just stood on […]
Spring in Three Rivers at Kaweah Lake
This is my favorite photo of the whole day. This is one of 3 types of lupine we saw at Kaweah Lake. This is another type – bush lupine. Some sort of clover was very abundant and quite fragrant. This road made me wonder how Three Rivers might be today had Terminus Dam not been […]
Spring in Three Rivers
Trail Guy and I had a road trip planned, although it pains me to leave Three Rivers in spring. However, life interfered, and being prudent, flexible and spontaneous (don’t hurt yourself laughing), we decided to spend spring here in Three Rivers. Have a look at an excursion to Kaweah Lake. That is Alta Peak in the […]
Walking in Three Rivers
I love to go walking in Three Rivers, particularly in February, my favorite month for weather. It is really green this year. Muddy too. Thank you God, for rain!! I got all excited about this beautiful moss. My sister from Oregon looked at me as if I were loopy. Moss AND lichen, oh my. Green. GREEN! […]
Snow in Three Rivers
In Three Rivers, February has the capability of bringing snow or wildflowers or both. It has long been my favorite month for weather. The morning after it snowed, several hundred feet in elevation above my home and studio. . . I had to walk a couple of miles to see snow sticking on the ground. […]
Want to go for a Walk?
Sometimes I go for walks. No, lots of times I go for walks. It is sort of assumed that when women want to hang out with friends that they go shopping and go out to lunch. Not this woman. I call a friend and say “Want to go for a walk?” It is one of […]
