Through Hiking the CDT
We were traveling past Ghost ranch into Christ in the Desert Monastery a week ago, and we ran into Greg and Clement through hiking the Continental Divide Trail, a national scenic running 3,100 miles (5,000 km) between Mexico and Canada. We dream of through hiking a trail one day, and we love through hiking culture. Greg and Clement were delightful, if you would like to learn more about their hike read here: gregjhammond.blogspot.com
Long Legs Splashing
I love the afternoon light and shadow on this puddle on the sidewalk.
“Merrily Painting”
This is my beautiful mother painting in the painted desert outside of Georgia O’Keefe’s house. My mom taught me so much, and then let me teach her when she signed up for one of my workshops. I am so grateful to you, mom, for who you are, and all that you have done to encourage me. Starting at age 6, I always believed I was an artist because you made me think it was true. You are still doing that today. Thank you. I love you. Happy birthday!
Summer in Maine
“Roadside Rooster”
“Grey Day at the Beach”
“Spin Me Mama”
Find your footing when the spinning stops, and then lay back in the grass and let the laughter wash over you.
“First Harvest”
We had our first harvest from our garden tonight: a few tomatoes, green beans, zucchini, acorn squash, two fairy tale eggplants, and fresh basil. Both the bounty and the light were beautiful.
