Going Along & Some Things Are Coming

 I've got a few ideas brewing.

Choosing fabrics and winding yarn.

And hiking.

 Golden Valley Trail...

over the little bridge and down the trail to the right.

Conversation regarding the sound (which I really like) of our footsteps on the wooden planks, like a boardwalk in an old western town. There may have been some singing together.

 More curious tree balls!

 I lean towards the finger paint fabric once again, getting the sense that techniques, symbolism and particular stitches will be repeated and deciding how I feel about that.

We spot just one bunch of California Poppies. Beautiful.

 

The way the colors wind around, peek in & out

 

Upon closer inspection, I see a wishing rock in the pillar. I think homesteading in this open land way back then must have been a wish come true! I'm thinking it still would be.

I never tire of the trees against the sky or the sun through the trees.

Layers of color, done

I'm starting to recognize certain landmarks...which slopes stand behind others, where the grasses end and other brush begins, where the trees live...

And we're discovering new trails, seeing the fork in the road and wandering on.

Heading out, passing Locks and then a short mountain drive before we're ready to head home.

Twisty road above and dry creek below, with town far, far away.

Thank you for continuing to come along with me as I share in the wonder of the great outdoors, as I explore creative ideas and tell my stories. Thank you for your friendship on the pomegranate trail.
