Grand Canyon

Fresh and fragrant desert sage, new snow and butternut sky...

How ever many times one visits the canyon, one carries in what needs to be left and takes away what needed to be found.

Walking to the edge time expands and contracts and expands again within...

No beginning...no end...

Think Snow

Not to rush the beautiful Autumn season that will be here soon but with these crispy mornings, my mind is

anticipating snow again and the possibility of hitting the slopes ...and these latest encaustic "starts"

reflect it.

Having fun...Dreaming

LIme Art

On Mother's Day my daughters Alexandra and Johanna visited and we had a most delightful weekend.

There was a bit of outside gathering by Alex for an assemblage project which involved some birch bark, branches and crystals and a Lime/Raspberry cake was made by Johanna. The cake was delicious .

After they had left, I found the grated limes on the counter and couldn't resist doing a little collage with the Bark, tangerines and the beautiful limes....now pieces of art themselves...

A view from the Pacific Star "boutique" winery where we bought a delightful bottle of white for our anniversary . We brought it back with us and enjoyed it for an Easter treat.
The coast is just spectacular, isolated and windswept. For several nights we opened doors wide to listen to the roar of the Pacific and crackling fire.

Views from the Pacific Star. While we were wine tasting another couple joined us . We were chatting about Maine and turned out that the gentleman was from New England and had done the Rockland 10K a few years back. After some chatter about that our host chimed in that she could do us one better. Her sale of her home on Islesboro (and island off the coast of Camden, Me area) provided enough for the purchase of the acreage seen here. Give her a visit if you find yourself in the upper reaches of PCH.
