Rainbows

One of the great things about living along the river is the beauty of the river, the surrounding mountains, and the area in general.  I feel like I live in paradise, mostly.  There are down sides. Yesterday, Wednesday, was a rather rainy, gloomy day. At one point, Than says that it looks like it's clearing up and then this rainbow just popped up.  It reflected in the river so nicely. There was a flock of Canada Geese in the river and seemed to be floating right through the rainbow reflection.

Wolf Video from Yellowstone

My Yellowstone buddy, Brenda is back at YNP for the winter season. Within the first few days, she and friends saw a wolf herd.  Brenda, quick with the camera was able to get a few seconds of video. Thanks. Brenda.  By the way, she will start posting to her blog about YNP very soon.  The address once again is: ynpfever2019.blogspot.com .  Leave a comment of encouragement and amazement if you could, please.  Unfortunately, I cannot load the video to this blog, so you'll have to wait until Brenda uploads it or until Clara comes over and shows me how to do it. Since the last post, my art class ended.  Joan and I are signed up for the February class.  I've added a few pictures that I painted.  Some are good, some aren't but it's the thought that  counts, right?   I painted a few yellowstone  pictures for four of my Yellowstone friends.  They all saw the original painting I did at YNP, so they will know how far I have come.  Happy holidays to one and all.  Today is a goo

I am trying to be very funny with giving myself the artist title.  I am enjoying this new-found interest of watercolor painting.  I will never be great, but who cares?  I am and will be satisfied with my results.  So there!! lol. We are in week 5 of 6 in watercolor class.  I have learned so much between Jane, who is a wonderful instructor, more like a guiding spirit, and YouTube, that has tons and tons of information.  Knowing how I can get involved in something and leave everything else behind, I force myself to shine my kitchen sink, aka straighten up the kitchen, before I sit and watch and paint.  Not a bad life, I'll tell you. Enjoy the  refrigerator art.  Thanks.... This is one study we did in class, applying some new techniques Just pictures.  The one with the moon is salt added to the wet paint for the sky to give it a neat look Cute snow creature with practice pad colors on the edge I was just messing around with snowmen and they came out kind of cute,

This group of pictures is from the overlook we just happened upon while looking for the trailhead.  I didn't want to confuse them with the others. But I did end up adding some photos that I miss on the previous blog.  More blogging tomorrow, but don't expect photos. Hard to see in the photo, but this area was the scene of a forest fire years ago. Following pictures are some I missed posting on the Storm Trail hike Flowers along the way More Flowers along the way Mushroon Probably elk scat, but maybe moose. Cool nest, no idea what kind
