Life is Art

I was just reminded by my blogger friend, DJ, that art encompasses life.

The beautiful laugh of my grandson...



Or his charm...



Maybe it is sweet innocence...



Art touches all aspects of life and can be seen everywhere.

The Trail Is In Bloom

Summertime on the Chehalis Western Trail!

Everything is green and blooming.......

Looks like we will have a GREAT crop of blackberries.


When I lived in Colorado the Fireweed did not bloom until the end of summer, but here in Washington along the trail it is blooming profusely.

Ebony likes to get in the picture
The weed I just love is the Foxglove.




I have done several paintings of this flower as I think the spots (I call freckles) are charming.

My favorite spot to sit for a break......


The view from the bench.....



I am so fortunate to have such a beautiful place to spent time on a daily basis.

Speaking of Beauty.......

Many posts have been addressing beauty in nature as well as art.

Today, I could not reframe from posting the most beautiful sight:
