377. Jenny Lake

In 2003, my sister Rita and I road-tripped from Washington state back home to Minnesota. We planned our route through Jackson Hole and Yellowstone, and the sightseeing was absolutely unbelievable. 

Part of the reason I'll never forget this trip was that I had recently received my first-ever digital camera. It was a Nikon Coolpix 2100, a whole 2.0 megapixels! For those of us who grew up on film cameras, the idea of taking limitless photos is something I still get excited about. And you could see them instantly! Lol. 

This scene of Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park is from the summer of '03.

Enjoy!

376. Blueberry Morning

 

'Blueberry Morning'

6" x 6"

My little town is home to the 'dikelands'; 11,366 acres of river-bottom farmland reclaimed through an extensive network of dikes holding back the Columbia River. The flat, farmy goodness peppered with old barns and livestock reminds me of my home state of Minnesota.

  

The dikelands close to me are also home to blueberry fields, and in winter, the reddish hue of the blueberry bushes becomes prominent. When the long rays of sunlight hit just so, the rows of dormant blueberry plants are ablaze. I can't get enough! I'm sure I take photos every year, but this is only my second attempt at painting them. The first was almost thirteen years ago! 

Enjoy!
